Ceratotherium simum
The rangers have cut the tip of the horn of that rhino in an attempt to avoid poachers killing it. It may work hopefully.

Location has been obviously modified. Poachers will not benefit from that one!

You're welcome! Happy to share and help.
I must admit I found creating the fake location very funny! But this is necessary to continue document and still save the rhino.
And thanks for the "fake" location! :) love it!
The poaching really is out of control.... one every 11 hours now... but this remains a stunning series NCitizen! Thank you for adding it to the mission and helping to raise awareness!
It may be sadly true Ashley...
I have heard that poachers spend so much time tracking the rhinos, that even if they find one and its horn is cut off that they kill it anyways to avoid tracking it again. People are really trying to save them, but the poachers care about money too much, it really is sad :/
