Moyo was saved from drowning at just a few days old after he was washed away while trying to cross a flooded river with his herd. He was then abandoned by the older elephants but, luckily, rangers found him just as a pack of hyenas had him surrounded.
He was taken to the Wild Is Life animal sanctuary in Zimbabwe, where he became very attached to founder Roxy. So attached that he won't let her out of his sight.'She is one of those animals with whom I have formed an extraordinary bond of friendship, trust and love. Letting go will be hard,' Roxy told the team from BBC documentary Nature's Miracle Orphans. More about "Wild Is Life" Sanctuary: "We believe that the elephant nursery is about affording the individual orphans a second chance at life. These orphans, who have been severely traumatized, deserve the opportunity to grow and thrive in the natural world.

Luckily, she was brought to Wild Is Life sanctuary, whose founder Roxy Danckwerts became the orphan's new mom.
Now 14 months old, Moyo follows Danckwerts everywhere and she's not aware of how big she's gotten…
Or how strong she is…
Or that silver spoons should not be eaten…But her curiosity wins hands down as she continues her mischievous raids around the house
"She knows my voice, my smell and somehow knows where I am at all times," said Danckwerts.Nothing can stop Moyo from getting to her human mom."She is one of those animals with whom I have formed an extraordinary bond of friendship, trust and love. Letting go will be hard"
