Today was the day that Shida was transferred to the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary in Tsavo West National Park. He was kept inside his Stockade overnight in order to be on hand for the KWS Vets and Rhino Translocation team to sedate him at 8.30 a.m. in the morning, and remove him before the mudbath visitors turned up at 11 a.m. Having been sedated, a radio transmitter was inserted into his horn, and he was loaded in a Box onto the truck by a Crane. One Keeper accompanied him, along with sackfulls of his dung and supplements to feed him at the other end in order to try and anchor him to his new home.
