@sheldricktrust: Even by giraffe standards – a species incredibly challenging to treat due to their physiology – the particularly large stature of this individual made for a daunting operation. After tourists reported him with a snare around his neck, it took two days of aerial patrols to find him. As soon as he was located, our helicopter flew the SWT/KWS Southern Vet Unit to the scene. Dr Lawi darted the giraffe from the air, then the Sheldrick Trust and Kenya Wildlife Service ground teams took over and roped him down for treatment. From there, it was a race to remove the cable snare from his neck, which could have felled even a giraffe of his size. Operation complete, hands off, and he was up and gone. To date, SWT/KWS vet teams have attended to over 15,000 wild animals!
