We are very pleased that Thandi's wounds seem to be healing very well after her skin graft on Monday 22 July 2013.

This was the second second treatment after the successful graft almost a month earlier on 24 June 2013. This is pioneering work and has never been used in a rhino before. 

Thank you to Jason Loest, Kariega Game Reserve operations manager, for the photos as well as his commitment to caring for Thandi and all wildlife at Kariega.
