† Wide Satao is a dead Male ♂ African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana), , who died 2021-12-13 at Tsavo National Park, in Kenya, .
Wide Satao was born wild at Tsavo National Park.
2015-05: Wide Satao was successfully immobilized. He was first treated for a wound on his left flank (old arrow wound – previously treated and arrow removed). He was then rolled over so that he laid on his left side to expose the current wound. The arrow was removed, and the wound treated. The arrow had hit the elephant at an angle and the injury it left was fortunately subcutaneous. 2021-12-13: Tsavo Trust received a call early Monday morning form our partners (STE) '>STE that his collar had sent out multiple immobility alerts. The KWS Tsavo Vet Unit, supported by Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) was called in to help try to get Wide Satao to his Feet as he was still alive, The joint KWS/Tsavo Trust Tembo 7 ground unit was instructed to watch over the elephant through the night, but unfortunately, he died at 9pm that night. Wide Satao died of old age, that was probably accelerated by the extended drought that ravaged Tsavo in recent months.
