Baby Elephant School follows Welsh biologist and elephant researcher, Lizzie Daly, as she helps to prepare 60 mischievous elephant orphans for their return to the wild.

Set at the world’s largest baby elephant sanctuary in Sri Lanka, Lizzie joins the local carers as a first wave of baby eles are released.

For Lizzie, it’s a dream come true. Not only will she get the chance to become an elephant foster Mum and help with new rescues, but her expertise in animal tracking will allow her to support the team in monitoring each orphan’s progress over their first 6 months in the wild. From dramatic rescues and round-the-clock critical care, to teaching the calves to avoid danger and the emotional release of a baby back into the wild. Funny, heart-warming and transformational. How will the babies get on in their first six months?
