Stranded Rhino Calf Rescued in Kaziranga
A baby rhino got lost in Kaziranga National Park in Assam.
The forest workers and a team of doctors looked for the baby rhino's mom for a whole day but couldn't find her.
They decided to take the baby rhino to a special place called the Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (CWRC) to take care of it.
They used big elephants, special cameras, and drones to find the baby rhino.
The doctors will now look after the baby rhino and help it get better.
A stranded male rhino calf was rescued from Kaziranga National Park on January 22, 2024.
The calf was detected in the Sarali area of the Burapahar range on Wednesday evening.
Forest personnel and a veterinary team conducted a 24-hour search for the mother rhino but could not locate her.
The calf was transported to the Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (CWRC) for care and rehabilitation.
The rescue operation involved the use of departmental elephants, thermal drones, and frontline forest staff.
