Couple who rescued orphaned two-week-old antelope reunite with her in the wild

A couple who rescued a two-week-old antelope after she was orphaned and left roaming around on her own have now reunited with the animal in the wild.

Wildlife photographer Sam Turley, 29, and his wife Vera, 31, found the blesbok antelope - whom they named Meme - on her own in January 2021, when she was spotted wandering around on her own after it is believed her mother passed away.

The pair took Meme in and raised the animal themselves for seven months before releasing her back out into the wild in July 2021 - but were able to reunite with her several months later.
