Rest in Power Craig !!

The legendary elephant Craig, with his enormous tusks, of the Amboseli Islands, has passed away at the age of 54: Kenya and Africa mourn this iconic elephant.

Craig, one of Africa’s last remaining super tuskers, died early on January 3, 2026, at Amboseli National Park in Kenya. The 54-year-old bull elephant, famed for his enormous tusks and calm demeanor, had lived under decades of protection by the Kenya Wildlife Service and local communities, making him a globally recognized symbol of wildlife conservation and a rare representative of a vanishing lineage of African elephants.

Meet the Dull-blue Flycatcher

A quiet gem of Sri Lanka’s highlands, the Dull-blue Flycatcher (Eumyias sordidus) is endemic to Sri Lanka and found nowhere else in the world. It lives mainly in the cool montane forests of Horton Plains, Nuwara Eliya, Hakgala, and the Knuckles Range. Subtle in colour and gentle in behaviour, it feeds on insects caught mid-air, blending perfectly into the misty forest light — a true spirit of our hill country.
