Daisy the tiny rhino was found unable to stand and with the umbilical cord still attached, and in a weak condition.
Another calf, rescued 48 hours after Daisy, was found close to the body of a deceased rhino, thought to be its mother, that had been killed by poachers. This rhino calf, named Aquazi, is now doing well with other orphans at Care for Wild.At the end of November, a zebra foal was admitted to the Sanctuary's ICU after being found"motionless and barely breathing, after heavy rains and storms." The foal was thought to be just a week old and was treated for septicaemia and anemia.
Daisy cannot yet be introduced to other rhinos at the sanctuary because she is too weak and vulnerable. Care for Wild is hoping to eventually release Daisy and its other orphaned rhinos to the wild."However, rhino rescue and rehabilitation is not a quick process," Pfeiffer said.
