Daisy and Modjadji would never ever have satisfied in the wild.
The baby rhinoceros and young zebra at the Care For Wild Rhino Sanctuary, on the other hand, have become unexpected buddies and are helping each other heal.
Daisy was seen alone and suffering in Kruger National forest, South Africa, by rangers in early December. Daisy was just a few hrs old and quite sickly, so her rescuers flew her to the shelter’s immediate care center by helicopter. Daisy needed 24-hour treatment and feeding, as well as additional medications to enhance her immune system and assist her in keeping her body temperature level.
Daisy, nevertheless, was not the only young animal at the medical facility.
” Modjadji was brought to the shelter’s ICU at the end of November after being found immobile and barely breathing on the reserve following severe rainfalls and storms,” said Louwhen Bowker, media liaison at Care For Wild Rhino Sanctuary. “Modjadji was believed to be just a week old.”
The two young orphans became great friends and came to be each other’s adopted family.
” As they became larger and braver, their interest obtained the best of them, and they started interacting,” Bowker described. “Rhinos are incredibly social creatures who demand company.” Daisy enjoys Modjadji’s companionship and finds him to be quite loving.”
