“For Esampu, all the world’s a stage. This natural-born entertainer is always putting on a show — mostly for her own benefit! When a buffalo stopped by Ithumba for a drink, she turned the moment into a high-speed chase scene, complete with shrieking trumpets and flapping ears. The poor buffalo didn’t realize that he had only been recruited to act out one of her latest dramas and ran away as fast as his legs would carry him. Esampu seemed quite pleased with her performance, as you can see in the final slide,” they wrote.
They also added a few more lines to share the rescue story of Esampu. “We rescued Esampu five years ago, after Big Life rangers found her abandoned in the Chyulu Hills. Ever since that day, life has been a little more lively with her in it!” they added.
