Judy Travers, who is the owner of the wildlife park, said: "Nhzou is the matriarch of the entire farm but she chooses to spend her time with the buffalo.

"We have tried to reintroduce her to the elephant herd on the farm but she's really happy where she is.

"She's very nurturing towards calves and their mums, but can put her big foot down towards the mature bulls.

"When newborns drop she is part of the herd that moves back to the mum and calf after they've had a chance to build a relationship." 

The Imire conservation area has been running for eight years and helps protect animals that are hunted in the wild.

Together with the black rhinos, the elephants live on a 10,000 acre farm where they are allowed to roam naturally during the day alongside other wildlife. At night however, the larger animals are kept in a safe area to stop them from being poached.
