Archival pictures of Simotua

Back to Simotua

Simotua with a spear wound in his head

A close up of his wound

A tragic little calf, frightened and terribly injured

We called him Simotua

The rescued calf the next day

The nylon snare is cut away and the baby strapped for travel

Taking a close look at things once back at the Nursery

Applying green clay to the wound

In the stockade after arrival

Applying green clay to the wound

In the stockade after arrival

The calf is placed in the stockade

Arrival at the Nursery

Arrival at Wilson

The rescue team on the ground

At the airstrip

Preparing to put the calf on the tarpauline

The snare is removed

The captured orphaned calf

En route to Rumuruti

Preparing to leave for the rescue

Give Simotua the gift of life by adopting today.
