The rhinos, female calves nicknamed Manasi and Roje, were rescued from the
floodwaters that annually spill over the banks of the Brahmaputra River. The

before the gorillas were due to return to Cameroon early Wednesday morning 13th
of December. "We understand that in terms of CITES, South Africa,

Four of the birds were sent by Russia’s environmental watchdog to IFAW’s
wildlife rehabilitation center in Moscow. One of the falcons died.
