Couldn’t Save Themba

Dr. Johan Joubert said, “Albert is like a brother to Themba and he is definitely an important member of Themba’s herd. We were a bit concerned to start with that we may end up with an elephant that thought it was a sheep, however, it’s turned out to the other way round. Albert copies everything Themba does. In fact, they have almost the exact same diet. Albert is the first sheep I have ever seen eat a thorny acacia bush. He has been studying Themba and worked out the best way to get his mouth around the long, sharp thorns to reach the juicy leaves.’

Unfortunately, two years later in February 2013, Themba died due to severe colic, just later that month they were about to introduce him back to the wildlife.
