What a storm today! Our little Thunder survived his first thunder! It was scary! But he noticed his mom and his family standing firm, with their butts to the wind. And thats how a wild horse learns to weather a storm; Don't Panic, Keep your butt to the wind,...

Not sure what the terrain is around that area but most horses will find shelter around bushes or trees. No need to build them a shelter.

Great explanation of wild horse behavior. Three stallions. One missing mare. An unforgettable display of what wild horses care about. Watch closely. These three Salt River wild stallions gallop through the river with power and purpose. They're not fighting. They're not showing off. One of their mares has gone missing, and together they set out to find her. Watch their breathtaking strength, grace, and determination. This is what many people don't realize about wild horses: they have deep family bonds. They protect and love one another, and refuse to leave loved ones behind. Wild horses aren't just beautiful—they're intelligent, social, loving, and nothing means more to them than their families. ❤️ If this changes the way you see wild horses, please share this video. The more people understand them, the more people will fight to keep them wild and free.

HERE’S WHAT WE WOULD NOT SEE IF WE DIDN’T MONITOR THEM THIS CLOSELY… 💔 This poor young momma, who lost her foal yesterday, is so obviously grieving. If you don’t see it, your eyes may not be working. If you don’t feel it, your heart may not be alright. These are sentient animals with deep feelings. They form bonds, they experience loss, and they grieve. And that is why we've worked so hard to make sure they are treated humanely. After losing her baby, Jewell’s entire band traveled 4 miles from the river back to the Hills last night. This morning, they are here at our Hills feed station. (We kind of wish they had done that last week and we may have been able to help.) Because we never saw Jewell’s baby alive, we can only guess at what happened. So we are taking the baby to Midwestern University for a necropsy. We are hoping that we can get some answers—and perhaps give everyone some closure. We have, of course, seen this before, in our 20 years of record keeping and our 10 years of managing this herd. Thats how we know that Jewell will be okay. We usually see a mare lose weight after losing a foal, but after about two weeks, they typically begin to pick that weight back up. Our hearts are with sweet Jewell today. 💔 But more than anything, we are just grateful that she is alive and ok. BTW the BS from the talkers continues as they are desperately trying to credit people who do nothing but plagiarize our hard work and bash our group any chance they get. They found out what we were doing and rushed to post it for attention, and to divert information with their own phone #, that's definitely not to help. No, we don't own this herd and don't act like that of course, but we do own the work we do, and the work we have done for 20 years, and you would never know about any of it, if it wasn't for us. Wouldn't it be nice if some people could manage to have a little acknowledgement that these horses would not be here without us? Wouldn't it be nice if they stated, where they learned their information? Wishful thinking maybe, or maybe we have just had enough if it. For Jewell. For her baby. And for every Salt River wild horse. ❤️ Thank you, SRWHMG #saltriverwildhorses #wildhorses #saltriverherd #saltriver #srwhmg #saltriverhorses #IStandWithWildHorses #managethemhumanely #arizonasaltriverwildhorses #saltriverwildmustangs

Do you want to know what’s really going on with wild horses? For five years, we traversed the American West, documenting the roundups conducted by the Bureau of Land Management. We watched as pregnant mares and newborn foals were driven by choppers they couldn’t outrun, we witnessed stallions trying valiantly to protect their families. The journey of creating WILD BEAUTY: MUSTANG SPIRIT OF THE WEST immersed us in a wildness we must protect; while simultaneously driving us into the darkness of the slaughter pipeline. Our crew went undercover - wearing button cameras sewn into our shirts, to take a crucial but devastating look at the government-enabled cruelty and abject tragedy of this issue. Once you look, you cannot look away. This is an unreleased trailer for WILD BEAUTY, that we hope will stir you to action. But the reality is - wild horses, right along with domestic equines - from show jumpers, to off-the-track Thoroughbreds, discarded lesson ponies, even donkeys - are thrown away into the slaughter pipeline every year. The Wild Beauty Foundation is leading The Lost Horses campaign to pass the SAFE Act in Congress, and to end the slaughter of American horses at home and across our borders for good. Alongside our coalition partners, we have successfully secured core SAFE Act protections in the bipartisan BUILD America 250 transportation bill, which advanced out of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and is now awaiting consideration on the House floor. Which is why we need your help, right now, today. Please, share, raise your voice, and stand with The Lost Horses.

How it Started for Ndotto → How it’s Going Today! When we rescued Ndotto in 2014, he was the smallest elephant we had ever seen. We’re not sure how he lost his mother, but the resourceful little orphan inserted himself into the nearest group of similarly sized creatures, which is how he came to be found amongst a herd of sheep and goats. Luckily, he was in sympathetic company, and the rest is history. Today, Ndotto is 12 years old and leading a wild life in Tsavo East National Park, but he remains very connected to the family who raised him. He continues to visit us most mornings, popping by to say hello before going about his day. When our Voi team wakes up and finds a large elephant peacefully standing outside, they know exactly who it is – sweet Ndotto, enjoying a few home comforts before he’s off again. Because of your support, we’re able to give orphaned elephants like Ndotto the family and the wild future they deserve. To learn more about this special bull’s story, visit:

🐴 A practical idea for America’s wild horses The BLM currently manages tens of thousands of excess wild horses in holding facilities. Long-term corrals are expensive and stressful for the animals. Meanwhile, many Native communities have strong cultural ties to horses and proven equine therapy programs that help with trauma, youth mental health, and cultural reconnection. What if we expanded partnerships between the BLM and interested tribes? Real precedent already exists: the Wind River Wild Horse Sanctuary on the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho reservation successfully cares for BLM mustangs in a semi-wild setting while supporting education and adoption. This isn’t a total fix for wild horse management, but it could be a humane, win-win step: • Move suitable horses to tribal lands with proper veterinary support and capacity • Support tribal equine therapy and cultural programs • Reduce taxpayer costs for long-term holding • Respect tribal sovereignty and expertise Tribes already manage their own horse populations and have sovereignty tools that allow flexible, responsible approaches. With targeted funding, training support, and clear agreements on care standards, this could scale thoughtfully. It’s not about dumping problems on reservations — it’s about genuine collaboration that benefits horses, land, and people. Thoughts?

Josh Barnett weighs in on the criticism surrounding WrestleMania 42: “We are in a whole new era, and if you don’t like it, I can understand—it’s radically different from the way it was, and I don’t know when things are really going to settle. We live in a wild, wild, wild, wild world right now... This is a tragedy of the commons kind of scenario... This is the new way of media distribution and monetization now, and I don’t know how it’s all going to settle in the end.”

The Bureau of Land Management says a wildfire burned two thirds of their food. A drought dried up their water. So the agency planned to remove EVERY wild horse from Riddle Mountain, Oregon. All 418 of them. They called it a rescue. The horses would be held off the range for about two years. BLM says the burned range needs a break from grazing. The horses live on this land by federal law, but the cows graze on it by permit only. The environmental and wild horse groups that sued say cattle were still out there when a judge asked. And only one of them was being told to leave. Is this also DEI for cows? Across the land it manages, the agency authorizes enough forage for 631,412 cows and their calves, compared to ALL of America's wild horses and burros: 26,785 (BLM 2022 data, via Return to Freedom). I can't get past that number. I keep thinking about these horses, waiting on a courtroom with winter coming. And about the 14,830 wild horses and burros BLM has targeted for removal this year. BLM's own target for that range is just 33 to 56 horses. That plan would return just enough to reach the low end: 33. And Western Watersheds Project's director says 33 horses is too few to keep a herd genetically healthy. Why the emergency? The groups say they had been in court for two years, and BLM had agreed to hold off on a roundup. Then it announced an "emergency" the Thursday before Labor Day weekend. Is this not a little suspicious from an agency we've already come to not trust? The groups say BLM had already hired contractors to round up the horses, including a $436,500 helicopter contract. They say the judge saw through the last-minute emergency, worried it looked like gamesmanship, and said no way. So a judge blocked the roundup a day before it began. That's a temporary restraining order, a short-term pause that does not decide who is right. Another hearing is coming, and the horses stay on the range for now. The agency warns fall storms could close the roads before it can reach the horses. If there isn't enough food for the horses, why is there enough for the cows? Trump's budget request for 2027 left out the long-standing protection against sending healthy wild horses to slaughter. His 2026 request left it out too. Congress kept it in the final law last year anyway (via Roll Call). BLM can legally sell wild horses. The petition says once they're sold, they lose federal protection, with little oversight of where they end up. It asks Congress for a full audit of those sales.

When we rescued Kapei, a drought victim from Rombo, near Tsavo West, we knew there was a host of older elephants waiting to be his surrogate mum. And we were instantly proved right. He was adopted – not just by the Keepers, but by the entire herd as Murera, Sonje, and Quanza all argued over who got to be his mum. What we didn't count on was the retinue of wild-born babies that would be born soon after his arrival, giving him lots of little brothers and sisters to play with! Lenny, Sulwe, Zigi and Mwana are spirited little playmates, rounding out his adoptive family and providing lots of opportunities to learn how to interact with other elephants. As he grows older, Kapei will peel away from his female-led herd and join bachelor groups of boys in the wild, who are usually mentored by older bulls. For now though, he's the darling baby of our dependent herd, and a much-loved older 'brother' to the wild-born babies. Meet Kapei:

When Philonicus the Thessalian brought Bucephalus to sell to Philip, asking for thirteen talents, they went down to the plain to test the horse. However, it appeared wild and extremely difficult to handle -- it would not accept a rider, nor tolerate the voice of any of Philip’s attendants, but instead, it became more agitated with each attempt. When Philip grew angry and ordered the horse to be led away, deeming it too wild and unmanageable, Alexander, who was present, exclaimed: "What a horse I am losing, simply because they lack the skill and courage to handle it!" At first, Philip remained silent. But as Alexander kept repeating the same words, Philip finally said: "Are you criticizing your elders because you believe you know more, or because you think you can handle the horse?" To which Alexander replied: "I could handle this horse better than anyone." "And if you fail, what penalty will you pay for your recklessness?" asked Philip. "By Zeus," Alexander swore, "I will pay the full price of the horse myself!" At this, everyone laughed. Yet, Philip agreed to the wager. Immediately, Alexander approached the horse and, taking the reins, turned it toward the sun - for he had noticed that the horse was frightened by its own moving shadow, cast before it. He let the horse gallop lightly for a while, stroking it whenever it seemed tense or aggressive. Then, he quietly removed his cloak and leapt onto its back, sitting firmly in place. He gently pulled the reins, tightened his grip without using a whip or spurs, and when he felt the horse had relaxed and was ready to run, he let it go, guiding it with a stronger voice and pressing with his legs. At first, Philip and his attendants watched in tense silence. But when Alexander turned the horse and rode back, proud and composed, everyone erupted in cheers. Philip, deeply moved, is said to have shed a tear of joy and, as Alexander dismounted, he said to him: "My son, you must seek a kingdom worthy of yourself, for Macedonia is too small for you." — Plutarch, Parallel Lives Alexander [6]

But as Alexander kept repeating the same words, Philip finally said: "Are you criticizing your elders because you believe you know more, or because you think you can handle the horse?" Alexander replied: "I could handle this horse better than anyone." "And if you fail, what penalty will you pay for your recklessness?" asked Philip. "By Zeus," Alexander swore, "I will pay the full price of the horse myself!" At this, everyone laughed. Yet, Philip agreed to the wager. Immediately, Alexander approached the horse and, taking the reins, turned it toward the sun, for he had noticed that the horse was frightened by its own moving shadow, cast before it. He let the horse gallop lightly for a while, stroking it whenever it seemed tense or aggressive. Then, he quietly removed his cloak and leapt onto its back, sitting firmly in place. He gently pulled the reins, tightened his grip without using a whip or spurs, and when he felt the horse had relaxed and was ready to run, he let it go, guiding it with a stronger voice and pressing with his legs. At first, Philip and his attendants watched in tense silence. But when Alexander turned the horse and rode back, proud and composed, everyone erupted in cheers. Philip, deeply moved, is said to have shed a tear of joy and, as Alexander dismounted, he said to him: "My son, you must seek a kingdom worthy of yourself, for Macedonia is too small for you." — Plutarch, Parallel Lives Alexander [6]

Farewell Rivaldo 💔 you will be missed badly. Not just another elephant, but an icon of the Masinagudi, Nilgiris, a gentle friend of forests and people alike, a towering presence who wandered freely through his ancestral lands. His passing today due to ill health leaves a void in the hearts of every conservationist, forest dweller and wildlife lover who watched him roam with such dignity. From the day he was released from a Kraal by the TN Forest Department back into the wild to see him free again was a moment of pride I will always cherish. Rivaldo reminded us that elephants belong to the wild that their freedom is precious, and their presence a blessing to the land they call home #Rivaldoelephant

13 year old Faraja has fully embraced his wild life: Enjoying walkabouts for weeks at a time with his wild elephant friends. But, he never struggles to find his way home, dropping in to check on his human-elephant family, which has been growing rapidly these last few months - welcoming three wild-born babies since December! An interesting fact about Faraja — and Jasiri, another orphan raised at our Umani Springs Unit — they have leucism, a condition resulting in paler pigmentation, and much lighter hair, most noticeable on their tails. This does not impede them in anyway, and having both originated in the Amboseli ecosystem, it suggests they share the same father. Learn more about Faraja and how he came to need our help:

Culture is genetic because behavior is genetic. This beaver never saw a dam in its life. No beavers or anything else ever taught it to build a dam. It wants to build a dam because it is a beaver. Many beavers together build a big dam. That is beaver culture. Humans are not different. Nothing is different. This is what life is. This is how life works. Your body is your mind. A caterpillar wants to build a chrysalis. A bee wants to build a hive. A lion wants to build a pride. You are not special. You are not above your nature. you are INSIDE of it. The thoughts that we think are genetic thoughts. The crimes we commit are genetic crimes. The art we create is genetic art. Just like this beaver, you can give the animal different sticks and it will build a different dam, but it will always build a dam. And you can give humans different "education," but the human will always use it to do what its genes tell it to do. This is the first big answer that you need. This is the biggest piece of the puzzle. This is how to understand people 90% of the way. You just... notice what they do, and get out of the way, and watch them do it. And if they need sticks, you give them sticks. And if you don't like what they do, you have to get away from them. You cannot train dam-building into them or out of them any more than you can with a beaver. A beaver wants to build a dam because it is a beaver. Whatever you see people build, that's what they wanted to build from the sticks they got in the river they were in. Stop pretending you can change it.

HERE IS A GREAT IDEA. We are begging the people from other countries who came here for the games and who love this country to do the follow for us. Could you find these disgruntled Americans who don't love America and offer to trade countries with them - The disgruntled are fairly easy to find - The malcontents usually have green hair - septum rings - a wild-eyed look about them and not groomed at all. You'll know who they are when you see them. You'll find them talking about how oppressed they are - how awful it is to live in America and don't forget how racist we all are. You from other countries now have your own opinions of America. Just think about it - If you could get them to trade countries with you - there would be an abundance of ranch dressing and quite a few Buc-ees - and Walmarts waiting for your visit you haven't seen yet.

When our orphans return to the wild, how do they find a herd? Slowly. Reintegration isn't a single moment – it happens over years. At our Reintegration Units in Tsavo and Umani Springs, orphans grow steadily more independent, spending days and then nights away, until the wild becomes home. Even then, many still choose return to the place and people that raised them every now and again. Most don't go it alone. They join herds of ex-orphans who went wild before them, or form their own, made up of other ex-orphans they grew up with – the friendships made at the unit become the family they live wild with. Suguta lives out in Tsavo with the same four friends she's had since the Nursery. As for who leads – matriarchy settles the way it does in any wild herd: through age, temperament, and the respect of the others. Herds aren’t one amorphous unit either, groups will splinter off and then rejoin, and these splinter herds will have their own mini-leaders. For more about how we reintegrate orphaned elephants to the wild, a process we’ve honed over nearly five decades, visit:

This should tell you everything you need to know about the media. A CNN reporter at the scene of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis was harassed by a masked left-wing protester. When the protester realized reporter Whitney Wild worked for CNN, they immediately stopped and walked away. WILD: “This is a growing, smaller crowd. This is controlled. The scene spans several blocks.” PROTESTER (off-camera): “Hey! Who do you work for? Who are you?!” WILD: “But it goes at least 2 or 3 blocks—” The protester got right in Wild’s face. PROTESTER: “Hey! Who are you?? Who do you work for?” WILD: “Uhh thank you.” PROTESTER: “Who do you work for??” WILD: “Hold on, I’m sorry. We’re with CNN, it’s okay.” The protester noticed the CNN lanyard and finally backed off, before turning and walking away. PROTESTER: “Okay.” WILD: “Thank you for your help…I’m sorry, I think people are getting upset.” And what would have happened if she wasn’t a CNN reporter?
