At 1 p.m. we received a call that a baby White Rhino needed rescuing from Meru National Park. The rescue plane and team landed at Kinna airstrip at 4 p.m. to find the baby rhino with a broken back leg. The Vet told us he had been spotted with his mother and with the broken back leg which he (the Vet) had attended to. However three days later the calf was spotted alone and unable to stand, having been abandoned by the mother. The baby arrived back at the Nursery after dark at 7 p.m. a baby bull no more than 2 weeks old. We splintered the leg overnight, having made arrangements to have it X-rayed and operated on the following day (Sunday) by two experienced Veterinarians.
