Asha, a three month old rhino, being x-rayed at the Onderstepoort Veterinary Academic Hospital in Pretoria. The white rhino calf, whose name means "life" in Swahili, was attacked by a lion in the Pilanesberg National Park. The lion bit right through the femur in her right back leg and as a result she had to undergo surgery to repair the damage.
