Records about Orlanda from Cynthia Moss at Amboseli Elephant Research Project Research Project'>(AERP)
I finally set up a camp and began working nearly full time in the Park in September 1975. One of the groups I found that first month was the OAs. I saw Orlanda in a big Group of seventy elephants, but I did not see Olga or any of the others. With Orlanda was a tiny male calf about three months old. On October 20, I found Orlanda with her new calf and her Tuskless female calf, whom I decided to name Olive because without any tusks, she looked like the cartoon character Olive Oyl. The following month I found Orlanda with her two calves and the young female with the very up-curved tusks, whom I named Odette.
