From DSWT Facebook this morning:
RESCUE: On the same day of Bomani's rescue we were called to another rescue. A 2 year old female who has been named PANDA. Not for any distinctive black and white markings, but after the place of her rescue.
Due to her age we decided it will be best for Panda to be raised at the Voi re-integration centre, where she can be seen in the image below. The Voi team have reported today that Panda is doing well and settling in amongst the Voi orphans. https://www.facebook.com/thedswt#!/phot...&type=1&theater A little more info about Panda (rescued 21 July 2012) - from DSWT Facebook:
... alone since the l8th July on the Mgeno Ranch abutting Tsavo National Park.
Orphan profile for PANDA online now.
With each passing day she grows stronger.

Comings and Goings at the Voi Unit - 12/22/2012Our little PANDA has been unwell but thankfully the change of milk formula and a course of injectable antibiotics seems to have done the trick, and she is visibly now regaining her condition and strength. Through this difficult time she has remained close to the stockades with the Keepers as company, and she instinctively knows this is what needs to happen in order for her to heal. The ex Orphans, particularly MWEYA, THOMA and Seraa have singled her out for very special treatment. She basks in their attention obviously remembering her lost family all too well, so to be surrounded by nurturing big elephants once more has helped her and she is healing both physically and physiologically.http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/upda...ates.asp?ID=480
