It'll be auctioned at the Friends for Lewa dinner tomorrow. Nicky also has a new friend at Lewa. A younger rhino calf was found after his mother had been killed by poachers, and was is now living with Nicky, and they've become friends.

I'm glad that you are there for the rhinos.
It's easier for smugglers to slip in illegal reptiles and birds.They are second to the
illegal drug trade,birds and reptiles are next on the list.I applaud those agents who bust these a$$holes.One guy smuggled in Fijian Iguanas in his plastic leg.Birds are drugged so they don't squawk,so many die from the drugs.Reptiles from the stress,you can't take a wild animal and expect it to adapt to captivity.When they first tried adult Iguanas,they died because they would not eat,they were intelligent to know they were no longer free,so what was the purpose of living?

It's sad that this rhino calf is an orphan due to it's mother being killed by poachers.
