by Ted Pontiflet, 2012 Little Salifu lived in a small and peaceful village in the north-west of Ghana, not very far from where the thick bush gives way to the high grass of the savanna. One day, Salifu was chasing a guinea fowl when he heard a commotion in a clearing just ahead of him. He peered through the high grass to see an elephant had just given birth. Suddenly there was more excitement with the other elephants surrounding the mother as she gave birth to a second baby.
