In the plains of Zimbabwe, Africa, lives a ferocious plant eater, the Black Rhinoceros. They were once feared by humans, so they prospered in that land. Nothing can come close to them because they are prepared to charge with a sharp horn and fast speed.
All these changed when rifles come into place. Once living in their hundreds on the plains of Zimbabwe, they are sadly reduced to a figure of 16. Illegal poaching for the horns of these superweight creatures are leading them to extinction. Their horns are valued for the medicinal properties in some cultures.
With the rate of poaching, the Black Rhino will be extinct from the land in a year. Watch as the rescuers from the nature reserve save them and fly them over to Australia where these creatures will stay until the conditions are better back home in Africa.
