Sibling Rivalry Sulwe and Lenny’s Race to the Finish Line

Your favorite bickering siblings, Sulwe and Lenny, are at it again! ???????? Every midday milk feed turns into a fierce race, with stout legs pumping and ears flapping. It’s too close to call a winner — Sulwe (left) and Lenny (right) are neck and neck, so we’ll just call it a draw!

Ironically, the milk bottles at the finish line aren’t even for them, as they nurse from their mothers. This race is purely about one-upmanship!

Although not related by blood, Sulwe and Lenny will grow up as brother and sister. Their mothers, Lima Lima and Sonje, were orphaned as infants and raised through our Orphans’ Project. Now living wild and starting their own families, Lima Lima and Sonje still choose to spend time with their Umani family and the dependent orphan herd.
