This is devastating!!!! Fortunately the poachers did not hurt the calf.Usually the poachers kill the calf too, despite it having no horn.The calf was darted and moved to a secure location where she will be cared for and loved and introduced to other rhinos.Great work to the fantastic team who helped to save this baby!
