Original text on this topic:
June Owen Smith called from Wereldsend that another rhino cow had been shot leaving a small calf orphaned which was now in her care. I arrived late in the evening. In the morning I found June giving the calf the early morning feed. The wounds that the jackals had inflicted had been fairly bad but June had done a marvellous job of cleaning up the worst of it. I took care of the baby. On the sixth day the Dept of Nature Conservation removed her to Etosha.
