We have enjoyed your stories and experiences while there. Thanks for keeping us up on what is happening. The mother/calf separation story was heartbreaking although we we do the best we can in these situations, its up to nature in determining what happens when we can't intervene. I am sure we are all happy about the abandoned calf ending up with its mother. Perhaps it is the males who separate the mother for their own reasons or maybe the mothers have a bit of postpartum depression (like humans) and want to get away for a bit!!! It is all fascinating.
