When the calf first arrived at the rescue center, it stood at just 90 cm tall and weighed about 100 kg. To date, its height has increased to 130 cm, and it weighs over 300 kg.

"In addition to daily health monitoring and feeding, we take the calf out for training in the wild every day to maintain its survival skills," said Mo Shiyu, a staffer at the rescue center.
