A pilot, a vet and a section ranger of Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park took to the sky on Sunday morning in search of buffalo for a disease testing operation (more info on this soon). While looking for buffalo, they came across a new poached rhino carcass and a couple of 100m away they spotted a small calf on its own (weighing 105kg and estimated to be around 6 weeks old).
They responded immediately. Dr Rowan Leeming immobilized the small calf and they placed it on the back seat of the helicopter (flown by Orton Bosman of Heligistix). The calf was rushed to the Zululand Rhino Orphanage where he was given a drip to rehydrate him and rhino plasma to strengthen his immune system. The experienced team at the orphanage will do everything they can to ensure his recovery and then his well-being until he is old enough to be released back into the wild.
African Wildlife Vets with support from Blankets for Baby Rhinos covered the emergency helicopter flight from Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park to the orphanage.”
