South Africa – home to more than 80% of Africa’s rhino populations – is losing hundreds of rhinos each year. In this country alone:
122 rhinos were killed in 2009
A record 333 rhinos were killed in 2010
By September, 2011 at least 274 rhinos had been killed
Great set of pics. What an amazing animal.
Nice!!
