File:Four bongo calves with nanny.jpg

This extraordinary photo includes four Eastern Bongo calves photographed together at the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy.

This 4-some were all born recently at the Conservancy within weeks of one another. Here they are seen guarded by a "nanny," a female "teenager" bongo, while the mothers gain time to relax and feed further away. The young will be friends for life and care will be taken that in the course of their eventual release back to the wild they will not be separated.

Meanwhile, they are cared for here - www.animalorphanagekenya.org - as part of a program undertaken by the International Bongo Foundation - www.internationalbongofoundation.org - to restore the wild bongo to Mount Kenya.
