Last week Dr Joel Alves ( ) was called out to assist a massive warthog boar that had a snare arounds its neck and front leg. The snare was still fresh – likely picked up from a storm drain – and even had a pole attached to it, making it impossible for the warthog to walk properly.

Thankfully, the team managed to free this big guy from the snare, giving him a second chance at life.

Dr Joel Alves,, recently responded to a distress call at the Swadini Forever Resort in the Blyde Conservancy, where a kudu cow was found with a long-standing snare injury. She was in extremely poor condition, and the situation was critical during the immobilisation. To give her the best chance of survival, the team had to reverse the anaesthetic quickly, allowing her to wake up and move to safety.

Although they couldn’t capture many photos due to the urgency, we’re relieved that she is now free from the snare and on the road to recovery.
