TATJANA
Tatjana is a young female elephant who has experienced many traumatic events in her short life.
Her mother Bellatrix died in December 2016 of natural reasons. Her herd, Guantagab-6, lost seven herd members in the last 10 years. Some of them were due to conflict and others due to natural reasons. The hardship these elephants endure makes us admire them, especially as they grow up to be so gentle and conflict-avoiding animals.
In 2019, the herd lost their matriarch Juno due to unknown reasons.
In early 2020, Tatjana and her herd members Sylvia and Tremor lost the last adult female of their herd, Claudia, who took over the role as matriarch. Tremor has since ventured off with another young male.
Tatjana and Sylvia were taken in by Mama Afrika’s herd and are cared for with kindness by the remaining adult females of the herd. It’s touching to see how elephants take care of each other, especially after traumatic events.
