The story of one baby rhino - Part 1

Where there is great love, there are always miracles’. Never could this be more true than this story of a baby rhino.
Just over three months ago a new rhino cow arrived at Ant Africa Safaris. She was unfortunately injured by another rhino in the herd, and following treatment soon after gave birth. Mother and baby were carefully monitored by the rhino rangers but after a couple of days, it became clear that her milk had dried up and she was unable to suckle her calf. The agonising decision was made to take him away so that he could be fed and cared for by Leanne Huber, wildlife manager on the reserve. Her husband Paul is one of the best wildlife vets around so the calf could not be in better hands
Looking after any wild animal from birth is extremely difficult. For one such as precious as a baby rhino, the stakes are much higher. Under Leanne’s great experience, patience and unrelenting care, we are happy to say the rhino is thriving, drinking milk from a bottle and walking in the bush with her 2 young children who love him like one of the family. As he grows bigger every day he is learning about life in the bush and will over time be introduced to other animals on the reserve so that he can return to the wild. Rhino babies normally suckle from their mothers for up to 18 months, so this is a lengthy process to raise him to adulthood.
If you would like to be part of Tyson's ongoing care - milk for a month costs over £200 - any donation would be hugely appreciated. Please see link in bio www.justgiving.com/campaign/b...
This poignant yet inspiring story of this little rhino demonstrates the enormous dedication required to care for these amazing animals. He truly is a miracle!

Thank you Leanne, Paul and everyone involved for all your effort, dedication and love to care for and support this young baby rhino. Tyson is such a beautiful and amazing animal and we must continue to fight to the stop poaching of this iconic animal before its too late. If we cannot save rhinos, then the human race should hang its head in shame and then surely it will be next to become extinct.
The battle to Save the Rhinos continues. Please help support the people fighting for rhinos on the ground, in the front line of conservation and adopt or donate anything you can to help the rhinos, and help secure a safe future for them.
