Stephen Sutton's Story ๐
May 2024 marks the 10 year anniversary of Stephen Sutton's passing. Stephen was diagnosed with incurable cancer at just 15 years old. He made it his mission to spend as much time raising as much money as possible. His fundraising efforts have now surpassed over ยฃ6 million.
This year Jane, Stephen's mum, will be completing 16 challenges around the UK to continue Stephen's fundraising legacy with the aim to raise ยฃ300k for Teenage Cancer Trust. We were honoured to welcome Jane here at Noah's Ark Zoo Farm yesterday for the first of her upcoming challenges.
Her challenge at Noah's Ark involved shovelling 28 spadefuls of elephant poo. Not only was this challenge a lot of fun it also meant a lot to Jane. Sutton the African Elephant was named in memory of Stephen 10 years ago when he was born. Stephen had met Sutton (the elephants) mum at West Midlands Safari Park as part of his bucket list back in 2014.

It's Elephant Bedtime ๐คซ
Did you know that elephants sleep for around 4-6 hours a night in 1-2 hour stints on average and swap sides after each stint? As elephants are such large and heavy animals, if they spend too long lying on one side, it can cause pressure build up on their internal organs. ๐ด
"We use sand mounds here at the zoo for the elephants to sleep on. This allows elephants to take weight off of all 4 feet but also makes it easy for them to get up when they want to as opposed to lying down on the flat sand. Our group of elephants all sleep really well. When the elephants are housed together overnight, they have the choice of multiple beds to use, so they can choose if they want to sleep side by side, or if they want some distance. The elephants always have access outside overnight. They're never shut in the barn at night time. They each have access out to our sand and grass paddocks."
- Tom Lindley, Head Elephant Keeper ๐
