Had an awesome day dehorning rhino yesterday. It is really sad to have to take off their magnificent horns but needs must. Poaching is becoming such a terrible problem.
We're doing about 5 more rhino today which will be more fun and a perfect distraction from a level results!
Tomorrow we have lions to do. we're not doing the brown hyenas anymore because they're not ready, so I'm disappointed about that!
On Saturday we are renting a car and driving to nelspruit to do some shopping and on Sunday we're going to Kruger!
........................................................................................................
Had another awesome day with the rhinos. We had a little scare because we thought some poachers were coming for the horns but it was fine in the end. We only got to help with one rhino because the rest had tiny calves so they wanted a small number of people to work on the mothers.
My results came in today. I got an A in chemistry, an A in English and an A* in biology. AND I HAVE A PLACE AT GLASGOW UNIVERSITY!!! I'm going to be a vet!!
Tomorrow we are doing a post mortem on a rhino and dehorning another black rhino, and treating an injured lion.
