CHEEKY

Cheeky arrived in the Ugab a few years after EHRA started to work in the area. Where he comes from, no one knows but we are glad that he stayed.

Although his name suggests otherwise, Cheeky is a humble and rather shy young adult male. He is the perfect elephant to have as a neighbor because he values human territory and respects boundaries. He doesn’t like problems and will always choose to stay far away from trouble. When he is with bulls he will try to hide behind them and move in between big trees. We assume that he experienced conflicts with people from an early age and that is why he is so shy.

However, he is never aggressive. Cheeky is unbelievably gentle and absolutely beautiful in his appearance. Within only a few years he grew so much and became a very good-looking bull. We are so curious and excited to see his further development and we work very hard to protect him.

The adoption period goes for one year and can be renewed.
