Lives at Sheldrick Wildlife Trust – Nairobi Nursery
Kipekee
- Orphaned in the wild
Kipekee's mother had been wounded by arrows and couldn't feed her. The calf, around four weeks old and starving, turned up alone in a Maasai Mara boma. Her mother had surgery but died the next day. Her mother couldn't be saved, but Kipekee was, and the Keepers are raising her so that one day she can go home to the wild.
