Sierra was born on September 22, 2020. Right in the middle of COVID.

Non spent literally every day with her after she was born.
Right from the start their bond was special.
On June 20th Non rushed Sierra to the hospital as she was showing symptoms of the deadly herpes virus (EEHV) that has killed many baby elephants across the world.
The same virus that Valentino had just contracted and beat a few months before.
Despite keeping them separate even after he recovered, Sierra still got sick, likely from the same source as Valentino.

Sierra fought hard for a good 30 hours, but she had 2 strains and it was just too much for her body to handle.

She passed away on June 21 at 8:01pm with Non by her side, as always.
She was laid to rest with a Buddhist funeral on the morning of June 22.

And now Non is back home, alone.
