Update on Kariega Rhinos - 15 March 2012

They’re alive! Both Themba and Thandi continue to fight for their lives at Kariega. Thandi is simply inspirational ! The way she is moving around the reserve indicates her position in the recovery process is improving every day. We found her running with a female and calf which we dehorned the other day so she is socially intergrating again which is a very positive sign.

Her face is also showing some good signs of progress. The maggot infestation is much improved and the level of infection has reduced around her facial injuries.  Under anesthetic she was stable and we were able to do some aggressive cleaning down to the exposed bone.
