Carla liked to lead William, one of her keepers, whenever he went out to cut
browse for her.

With
the help of many, a young orphan survives
In 2008, a young rhino calf, later called "Carla", was shot through the
shoulders and chopped with an axe by poachers.
Her mother was shot and killed. Carla had no chance for survival without
human intervention. She was initially treated and cared for by the Style
family, and was then moved to a conservancy where she could be cared for by
rhino monitors until she was ready to be released. Thanks to the care of her
many keepers and friends, Carla recovered beautifully and was able to return
to the wild. |
