The Rescue of Raha, An Orphaned Rhino | Sheldrick Trust
On the afternoon of 23rd September 2022, Ol Pejeta Conservancy scouts reported a tiny black rhino calf who was in a desperate way. She was all alone, with no other rhinos in the area. We will never know why she was abandoned at such a young age. Perhaps her mother rejected her, or perhaps she got into an altercation with another rhino and the calf was cast aside in the process.
In its prime, a rhino is one of the most formidable creatures in Africa, but a calf is terribly vulnerable to predators. In the short time she had been on her own, predators, we think jackals, had attacked Raha, mauling her and causing nasty injuries.
The SWT/KWS Mount Kenya Vet Unit rushed to the scene. They were confronted with an impossibly tiny calf, who was no more than a week old at best. The predators had done a serious number on her, adding a whole new level of urgency to her situation. She was frightened and in great distress, pain etched across her little face.

Established in 1977, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, rescuing and hand-rearing orphaned elephants and other animals that have lost their mothers, all too often as a result of human activity. But we do much more than this. Through our Aerial, Anti-Poaching and Mobile Veterinary Units, we safeguard the natural environment and provide immediate assistance to wild animals in need. We also secure irreplaceable wilderness areas so that animals will always have space to roam and work with local partners and communities to ensure people and wildlife can live alongside one another.
