Messy Mud Baths with rhinos, Peter and Bula 🦏

Before HERD elephant orphanage was established, Adine led the rhino rehabilitation programme at HESC (Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre), also in Hoedspruit in South Africa. She played a crucial role in the rhino orphans' recovery and rehabilitation journey. Adine recently assisted with the newest orphans at the centre, Peter and Bula, as we have shared before. In this new video, we share some of these moments with you.
After being rescued when his mother was tragically killed by an elephant, Peter found comfort in his new home at HESC. Watch as Adine brings him mud for a special rhino spa day, providing sun protection and a cooling refresher. Peter is more accustomed to his surroundings now and enjoys playful interactions with his carers and sheep, with the occasional bout of zoomies. Meanwhile, Bula, who was orphaned after his mother passed from old age, enjoys an afternoon cool-down with his carers.
