It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s a … Flying Rhino!

Check out this story we just found on World Wildlife Fund …

Rhinos in South Africa are being slaughtered by poachers; their horns sold for profit — sad. But there’s a silver lining in this grim story: after finding yet another dead rhino, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) decided to take action.

With other animal-rescue organizations, WWF helped to set up a protected area for the rhinos. But there was a problem – how to move all the rhinos from their poacher-infested land to their new home? What would you do?

Because they were too heavy to be put on trucks, WWF decided to drug and and airlift the rhinos to their new safe space by tying up their feet and danging them from planes. Pretty crazy, huh? Can you imagine what it would have looked like to see?

Hopefully, rhinos don’t motion sickness…
