That's the keeper's bed that she's trashing. He'll spend the night with her, giving her milk every few hours. We were lucky enough to be invited to the Nairobi orphanage at bedtime a few years ago; what we thought was really cute was that when the babies finally lie down to sleep they suck their trunks like a human baby would suck its thumb. They are absolutely mischievous too: an older pair were blowing bubbles in the bucket of water they'd been given for the night.

this baby appears so enamored of the man. at around 3:00, the baby appears to become more mischievous, curious, and pushing her boundaries. her eyes when she turns towards the keeper indicate she might be aware she is acting more naughty as time passes. so childlike.

Are we sure the poor thing is just trying to reach his mattress, they're sitting on it ?
