A young Elephant bull with a snare was spotted by a game viewer on Mohlabetsi River Reserve.

The Elephant was darted, the snare removed and treated. The wound created by the cable snare had grown closed and the snare was located deep around the animals right front foot indicating that it had been like this for some years, because of this it was extremely difficult to remove the snare as it was very deep and skin had grown over.

All went well and will keep you updated if we see him in the area again.
