By the time the Voi keepers arrived, othe SWT antipoaching team had already caught the calf and restrained it waiting for the keepers to arrive. The calf was over two years old and we decided to raise him in Voi, company for Bada another recently orphaned youngster rather than air lifted to the Nairobi nursery. The team drove the tuskless calf to the Voi Nursery. On arrival she settled quickly with the close company of the other orphan Bada, approaching the keepers for a milk bottle in no time.
The two later went to greet one another with trunk touching in the taming stables and it was clear they were going to grow to become great friends.

It is with heavy heart that we have to report that Sorka died quite unexpectedly in the early morning of the 25th of October
