By Sara Malm It can be hard to address the elephant in the room; however it becomes considerably easier when one is standing in your lounge. Staff at a game reserve in Zululand, South Africa found themselves with an unusual problem after a 10-day-old baby elephant ran away from its mother and ended up in their garden. Owner Francoise Maldy Anthony and her colleagues could not believe their eyes when the little explorer then stumbled into her front room. How did she get here? The female baby elephant, named Tom after the member of staff who found her in the garden, was estimated to be just over one week old when it got lost and walked into the living room
