Nature loves order. Watch how the vultures wait around while one of the wild dogs eat their meat. They prefer to feast off unattended food and will generally wait their turn until there aren't any predators around.

Meet Savannah, one of the feline residents at HESC. She was brought through to the Centre by a family who had rescued her and tried to hand-rear her, which proved unsuccessful. She now spends her days resting, grooming herself and playing with the occasional toy her carers bring when they go into her enclosure to clean her dam or feed her. This enrichment gives her the exercise and mental stimulation she needs.

You can help secure Savannah’s care by fostering her for a month or more at R150 / $30 per month: https://wildlifeconservationtrust.co.za/wildlife-friends

Rhinos also use body language to convey their emotions. In this case, tail curling by a white rhino indicates agitation, nervousness or stress. This is why it is important to listen to a guide’s instruction when on safari because they can read the animals’ behaviours and know when to keep their distance.

Today is World Animal Day, observed every year on the 4th of October to encourage better protection for wild and domestic species alike. Wildlife Conservation Trust facilitates projects at the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre that help to care for the vulnerable and endangered species housed at the Centre.
