An adorable young zebra and baby rhino have made an unlikely pair of friends at the Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary in South Africa.
Daisy, the baby rhinoceros arrived at our sanctuary in December. She’d been found with her umbilical cord still attached and she was weak and unable to stand.
“This little calf is being fed hourly around the clock. To ensure that she is taken care of at all times, the team works in shifts. Although we have a long road ahead of us, every rhino is important.” the Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary posted to Facebook after rescuing Daisy.
While she has a whole team of caregivers to keep her stable, sometimes animals need a bit of extra love and Daisy found that in her zebra friend Modjadji. Modjadji was rescued following severe storms in the area.
The rescue posted an adorable picture of the pair cuddling together as Daisy and Modjadji are both staying in the sanctuary’s ICU.
“She [Modjadji]She has made a friend of Daisy and is offering her comfort. She is very gentle with her and the two seem like to be good friends already,” Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary shared on Facebook.
While Daisy still has quite the road ahead, she’s lucky to have her zebra friend by her side.
