It was a chilly morning dominated by Showers. The Big orphans were happy about the weather, but little Sasab again had to remain indoors while Naipoki and Ishaq-B had to wear rainwear. Just after 3 p.m. there was another Rescue alert from Meru National Park to say that a tiny calf from the Imenti forest was at the Lewa Downs airfield awaiting a plane to be airlifted to the Nursery. The rescue Team of two Keepers plus all the paraphernalia were soon on the way. The calf, a baby bull, no more than a few days old, arrived back at the Nursery after dark. He has been named “Kithaka” the Meru word for “forest”. He was put in the stable next to Tano and Sasab, which made Tano very excited and happy. She tried to reach out to him, but the baby was too preoccupied adjusting to his new surroundings.
