News: Another Rhino poached

Another Rhino got poached in South Africa, this time in the KZN North Region. Bhejane Nature Training students were at Ndumo Game Reserve last week and came across a young rhino calf with a adult bull rhino.The calf was crying and nudging the bull for milk, and it was in a bad condition. They reported this to the section ranger, who told them that the calf's mother had been shot dead and her horn hacked off. The suffering this poacher caused to the calf must be immense. White rhino calfs stay with their mothers for 3 years and form a strong bond. This calf must have stayed by his mothers side suckling from her dead body till hunger drove him away!
