While many safari lodges wait for lockdown on tourism to be lifted so they can take in guests again, life remains busy. For several lodges in Bela-Bela a few weeks ago, staff were faced with the enormous task of saving a giraffe that was trapped in a swimming pool.

According to a post on Facebook, the giraffe cow got trapped in the netting of a small pool at Zebula lodge in South Africa's Limpopo province.

The staff contacted Dr. Marius du Toit, the vet at Bela-Bela, who was helped by Jan-Louis Jacobs, training manager at Sondela Nature Reserve. Jacobs suspected that the female fell into the pool during the night and luckily landed on the net, but then got trapped in it.

After du Toit gave her a sedative, the staff pulled her out of the pool – with a lot of effort – and when she was out, left her alone to stand up. Very hesitantly, she made her way into the bush.

All I see here is love..If only we could watch out for ourselves like this, the world would be a better place with less cases of suicide, hate and wickedness.

This look like clout chasing. How did the Giraffe get to that small pool in the first place

Nigerians would have killed that animal then share the bush meat BTW families and friends

This is something Worthy Of Emulation

Animals roam freely in game reserves. The guy did say it fell in at night. It happens.

Just last week.

I hate it that they can't conserve nature, is it every animal they must eat.

One of the comments accompanying that picture asked why if people can eat land cows they can't also consume sea cows.

So we're faced with a long term struggle to change attitudes.

Nigerians would have eaten it.

And Nairaland as a forum, promotes it.

Everyday there's such a story on the front-page (animals senselessly killed). This one won't make it because the animal was saved from becoming pepper stew.
