On Friday we received word about another baby rhino coming to Care for Wild. SHE WAS ORPHANED DUE TO POACHING! We were warned about her condition and that she had been attacked by hyenas. When she arrived here, we were horrified at the sight of her ears having been chewed off by the hyenas and bite marks all over her head. It is unsure of how she survived but her will to live soon became apparent! She is quite calm and is drinking very well! IN SOME WAY SHE KNOWS WE ARE TRYING TO HELP HER AS SHE IS ALLOWING US TO FEED, COMFORT AND EVEN TREAT HER WOUNDS!!
She is extremely intelligent and even put her own rescue in motion by walking onto the road in the park and flagging down some tourists in their vehicle. She was so desperate that she even accepted water from them and stayed by the vehicle until the vet team arrived to dart and treat her.
If anyone out there is willing to help with the funding for this sweet little baby called Wyntir please contact us on petronel@careforwild.co.za
