Yesterday, the MWCT Conservation Team was called by Rangers in the field, to hear that a herder boy had found a very young abandoned
lesser kudu. We went to the site to examine the case and found the beautiful young lesser kudu walking in the middle of a herd of goats. Unfortunately, the kudu was not in hiding as it should have been, and was out in an open area
exposed to domestic dogs, and would certainly not survive the day.

Therefore, we decided to take it with us, and we immediately called David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to collect the kudu and look after it appropriately. The vet said they would come to our camp to pick it up later in the week, and advised us to care for the little lesser kudu with 0.75 L of milk per day. Currently the lesser kudu is still at our camp and in a
very good condition!
