Rhino calves leave the orphanage!

We are proud and delighted to announce that Thamani and her buddy, nicknamed Defender by our team, have successfully reached the next stage of their rehabilitation process.
Now that they are both approx. 18 to 20 months old, they are fully weaned and thriving. So they have been moved into a larger rehabilitation area to can continue their rewilding process. This has been approved by the State Vet. Their new home is back on the reserve where Defender came from. As the two calves have formed a close social bond, it was agreed with Balule Reserve, who own Thamani, that Thamani should accompany Defender in this next stage of rehabilitation. The social welfare of the calves is our priority.
Although they are now no longer at Rhino Revolution – we look forward to keeping you updated with their progress as they continue their journey back to the wild.
A huge thank you to everyone who has been involved in the care of these two young calves over the past 15 months, including Balule Private Nature Reserve for all their support, and everyone who has helped raise funds for their upkeep.
Meanwhile, Rhino Revolution’s work continues – running the Facility and Orphanage and keeping the Lucky Five safe and wild.
