We’re very excited as the past couple of months has seen the big game on the farm increase to now include Zebra, Kudu, Waterbuck and Giraffe! Watch the video clips to see their arrival, the giraffe one is particularly stunning as the giraffe head out across the magnificent African sunset.
We also have new baboon babies, Shauna and Carolla named after... well obviously baboon lovers Shaun and Carol!!
8 month old Shauna arrived in July. She was brought to us by a family who found her mum shot in the stomach in December 2009 in the North West of Namibia. They saw movement and discovered the baby inside so they took her out and raised her for the next 8 months. They knew they couldn't continue to look after her and give her the space and life she needed so they brought her to us.Carolla’s story is just as sad as her mother was also shot on a farm. We were contacted and went and collected her in Okahandja.
We also have a new addition to the caracal group although she does not stay with the other caracals. She was captured on a farm about 20km away from the sanctuary as she was catching young springbok. During the capture the gate to the capture cage fell on her foot and removed two toes in the process. We’re not sure if we can release her back into the wild, because she will struggle to catch her prey with her missing toes.
Please email donations@naankuse.com if you would like to adopt one of our new arrivals or one of the old favourites and help us to continue to provide a safe sanctuary for the orphaned and injured animals of Africa.
