Wildlife park cares for baby pygmy elephant

This three month old pygmy elephant named Joe is getting some attention from a caretaker who, for now, is his only family. Joe was orphaned recently when his mother and 13 other pygmy elephants were found dead in a rainforest near a plantation in Borneo. Results from a chemical investigation are set to be released on Friday, but early speculation suggests the elephants died after eating something poisonous... perhaps left by plantation workers to stop wild animals from eating their crops.
