Duke the giraffe
Duke the giraffe
Duke was bought into Khulula Wild Care just a few hours old. It was thought that he had been abandoned by his mum. The volunteers lovingly cared for him until the centre sadly lost him to tick bite fever. While his time on Earth was cut short, the volunteers had given him all their love and care knowing that for his last few weeks he was extremely happy. R.I.P Duke.
Bush Baby

Volunteers often look after bush babies while at Khulula Wild Care. A nocturnal animal, as many as twenty may crowd together to sleep in an enclosed space like a hollow tree trunk. At dusk they wake & split into family groups & go searching for food.

Photo taken by Robert Staritz who came 3rd in ACE's photo competition. The white fronted bee-eater, Merops bullockoides, gets it's name from it's distinctive white forehead and diet of insects , which is almost always honey bees. These bee-eaters live in a very complex society, nesting in colonies made up of family clans where non-breeding birds become helpers for their breeding relatives.

Feeding Frenzy
The Marabou Stork, Leptoptilos crumeniferus, is one of the largest flying birds in the world.

Africa's wild dog
Africa's wild dog
Wild dogs were once widely distributed throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Today, viable populations may exist in only a handful of countries. Habitat loss and human persecution are the main causes of decline. Wild dogs fall victim to snaring, shooting, and speeding vehicles on roadways.
