The anti-poaching patrol tracked the signal for an hour, praying they weren't too late. When they arrived, they found a heartbreaking scene... and a miracle.

Kate is a 2-year volunteer at a wildlife sanctuary. She's a vet tech who thought her days would be spent helping with routine check-ups, not facing the front lines of a brutal war.

Yesterday, the call came over the radio: a female rhino's tracking collar had sent a "mortality" signal.

The team raced out, their stomachs in knots. They found the mother rhino, killed by poachers for her horn. It was a devastating, all-too-common sight. The senior ranger was about to call in the loss when Kate heard a tiny, high-pitched cry from the tall grass nearby.

Hidden in the brush, terrified and trying to stay still, was her baby. A calf, no more than a few days old.

He had been alone for hours, dehydrated and weak from shock. He was starting to fade.

While the rest of the team secured the area, Kate’s training took over. She sat on the dry earth, pulled the tiny, orphaned rhino into her lap, and grabbed a bowl of water from their truck. He was too weak to even lift his head.

She held the bowl to his mouth, her hands shaking, overwhelmed by the cruelty of what had happened and the fragile life she was now responsible for.

"Come on, sweetheart," she sobbed, gently stroking his head. "Drink a little more. You're okay... you're so brave. I've got you."

It was a desperate plea in the middle of a tragedy.

The calf, who the team later named "Brave," was transported back to the sanctuary. He has a long road ahead, but for the first time in his short life, he's safe.
