Wildlife rangers have rescued a blind baby rhino found bumping into trees and rocks on the African savannah. Nicky, a rare black rhino, is now getting 24-hour care at the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya and has formed a close bond with staff. The wildlife park has launched a campaign to raise funds for specialist surgeons to restore sight to Nicky’s eyes, which have been blinded by cataracts.
