This baby elephant’s name is Themba. His mother died in a fall down a cliff. This sheep is Albert, and he has become Themba’s best friend. The pair are now inseparable and spend every hour together at their home in the Shamwari Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Sounds unbelievable? See more photos below.
