Blitz day is always full of surprises!
Especially when you’re in charge of a waterbuck that decides to take a detour into a ravine before going down. 😅 Unfortunately, the team was too busy getting it out to capture any footage — but we did manage to get some great shots of our other animals.
Just another wild day out! 🦌📸

World Lion Day 🦁

When we asked Dr. Emily Baxter, one of our vetsgowild facilitators and vet, about her most memorable lion procedure, her answer was instant:

“The one time we darted a lion for a root canal… at night!”
Yeah, you read that right — under the African night sky, with the use of headlamps and blue lights, and a very patient (and very sleepy) lion.

From start to finish, it was a reminder of the precision, teamwork, and respect it takes to work with these magnificent animals. Thankfully, this lion is now pain-free thanks to some serious after-hours dental work!

Our Vets Go Wild students sometimes have the opportunity to observe an elephant procedure, right here in our beautiful province, the Eastern Cape. Working alongside an experienced wildlife vet team, they witness first-hand the skill, care, and teamwork involved in managing these gentle giants. Moments like this highlight the vital role of wildlife veterinary work in conservation. 🐾🐘🌿
