Conservation volunteers help to remove Rhino Snare

Yesterday Anja (Shamwari’s animal monitoring lady) found a white rhino calf with a wire wrapped around its back ankle. We darted the mother first because she would attack anyone who tries to get close  to her calf. Then the calf was darted, who went down close to its mom. We removed the wire which turned out to be a snare. . . .
