Another Rhino poached in Mahikeng. Killed about a week ago for her horns! Her calf was finally found today and has been rescued. The calf is around 3 months old only and was following another Rhino and calf who rejected her.
Hopefully she has not ingested to much sand like little Tshidi did. Thanks a million Elzanne who found her and monitored her till help arrived. You are truly amazing. Thanks Nico and Rhino 911 for collecting her! You passion is unsurpassable! And Dr Gerhardus Scheepers for looking after her and being there for her after your 36 hour work day! Hope all goes well here on out!
The little calf has been named Nandi by Elzanne who found her and watched over her till help could get there! Nandi means ‘love’ in Zulu. Safely at her new home now, Jamie has just let us know that Nandi has taken to her bottle immediately! We are so happy and Nandi will be monitored over the next few days for sand in her system which could mean trouble!
