Poachers had destroyed Hope the white rhino's skull by
hacking off her horn
A rhino who was attacked by poachers last year underwent
facial reconstruction surgery in early May, and has been on the mend since the
successful procedure.
After poachers sedated Hope, the rhino, and hacked off her
horn and part of her skull, a group of wildlife veterans used human abdominal
surgery techniques to stretch skin over her wound on May, USA Today reports.
Sixty percent of her face has healed through the other five major surgeries she
had since the attack.
The surgery earlier this month lasted over an hour.
