EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken at London Zoo in July 1924, we witness the heartwarming bond between keepers and a young male African Elephant named Kiberenge. The image showcases the dedication of these caretakers as they assist Kiberenge in quenching his thirst from a hose attached to a watering can. Kiberenge, who was gifted to London Zoo by H. E. Sir Horace Byatt in September 1923, had been born just months prior in February 1922. This endearing scene captures not only the nurturing nature of these majestic creatures but also highlights the important role that zoos play in conservation efforts for endangered species like elephants. The keeper kneeling beside Kiberenge is identified as Thomas, whose compassionate presence exemplifies the commitment of those entrusted with caring for these magnificent animals. As water cascades into Kiberenge's mouth, one cannot help but be moved by the tenderness and trust evident between man and beast. This timeless photograph serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect wildlife and their natural habitats. It encapsulates both the beauty and vulnerability of elephants while showcasing their remarkable ability to form deep connections with humans. Frederick William Bond's skillful composition immortalizes this precious moment, allowing us to reflect on our shared connection with nature and inspire us to take action towards preserving it for future generations.
