Port Lympne Zoo. Naivasha's daughter Arusha, however, had a much more serious problem; she developed a nasty growth in her mouth, which was diagnosed by pathologists as a haemangiosarcoma - a particularly unpleasant form of cancer. Prognosis was deemed extremely poor. She was sedated seven times in three months over the summer for the tumour to be frozen and cut back, only for it to re-appear, sometimes within days of the last sedation. Eventually, however, it seemed to disappear, and at the time of writing we are cau- tiously optimistic.
