A Star is Born
Chaimu's story with her loving Sheldrick family spans 17 years. After being rescued as an orphan, she was raised and eventually rewilded herself. In September 2024, she gave birth to her first calf, Chapa, outside the home where she was raised. Sadly, she returned after more than a month and Chapa was no longer with her. Sheldrick is not sure what happened to her little boy.
Chaimu came back around the Ithumba stockades a few months ago, visibly with calf. On October 2nd, she came back with a little baby girl in tow, Comet. Another beautiful light of hope.
Comet is the 95th known grandcalf born to an orphan rescued, raised, and rewilded through Sheldrick's Orphans' Project. It is always such a heartwarming event when they bring their babies back to meet their Sheldrick family. It fills my soul with joy.
Let's welcome Comet with love, hope, and a bright future for her and her incredible mother. Once orphaned, frightened, alone and almost blind. Now a fully healed, healthy miracle and contributor to our wonderful Earth.
Enjoy the love today. ❤️
