Episode 40: All About Friendship (Bambi Part III)
Listen now
Description
In this episode we conclude our series on Bambi. Kat and Scott recall how her first months revolved around building friendships. We talk about her role in the trio that were eventually nicknamed Powerpuff Girls, and how after her first rejection by Mara, she learnt to respect the emotional space of the other elephants. We catch up in the present and talk about Bambi’s rise in insecurity due to her gradual vision loss, but stay on a positive note as we learn how Maia has stepped up to be there for her. There’s also a feathery update on the seven barn owls in the care of ESB. The episode transcript can be found here.

There are elephants around the world in need of sanctuary, but too few places exist to be able to care for even a fraction of the elephants. International support is necessary to build sanctuaries for elephants in need of rescue and rehabilitation. Our pilot project is Elephant Sanctuary Brazil, currently home to six female Asian elephants.
