Alamaya is a living Male ♂ African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) , located at the DSWT Umani Springs (Kibwezi Forest), in Kenya.
Alamaya arrived in 2016-05-29 to the DSWT Umani Springs (Kibwezi Forest), relocated from the DSWT Nairobi nursery, in Kenya.
Alamaya lives together with 11 other elephants at the DSWT Umani Springs (Kibwezi Forest):
Alamaya was born wild at Masai Mara, captured at Purungat area, near the Mara Bridge in the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
ALAMAYA was rescued from the Masai Mara late on the evening of 17th March 2015, found alone, ALAMAYA arrived to our Nursery in darkness, with terrible wounds to the genital area caused by a Hyena, which had also bitten off ALAMAYA’s tail! Initially we always thought Alamaya was a female, and our first reports indicated as much, but an operation on the 3rd of July, three months after his rescue, was performed to help cut away scar tissue which was inhabiting Alamaya urinating properly. Early on in the operation it was discovered that Alamaya was a he, so severe were his injuries that nothing remained that could obviously indicate that. So on the 3rd of July our little she turned into a he.
