A pair of white rhinos nudge their heads gently together at a watering hole in Solio Game Reserve, Kenya. “It’s a photo that depicts love and care to me, showcasing a beautiful bond between the two rhinos,” said the photographer
Recalling the time my student neighbours spent a loan instalment on huge Inflatable megafauna. Never found out why. They weren't much cop at political campaigning, at the very least.
Nepal’s Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation relocated five one-horned rhinos from Chitwan National Park’s western region to its eastern side on March 21 to balance the distribution of the animal’s population and reduce competition and fighting for limited resources.
Twenty-one critically endangered black rhinos are settling into their new home at Loisaba Conservancy in northern Kenya.
The translocations were prompted by the fact that Kenya’s 16 black rhino sanctuaries are running out of space — a remarkable turnaround from rampant poaching in the 1970s and ’80s that reduced the country’s rhino population from 20,000 to fewer than 300.
Kenya Wildlife Service members pull a sedated rhino out of the water to safety during a wider capture and translocation programme in Nairobi national park. The mission to move 21 rhinos to the Loisaba conservancy in the north began this week. The animals will be taken from various congested conservancies to control population and poaching in one of the largest translocation of rhinos in the country’s history.
A veterinarian tends to a newly born Sumatran rhino calf at a sanctuary at Way Kambas National Park, Indonesia. The baby is a very welcome arrival, since the species is critically endangered; there are less than 80 left in the world. It is our smallest rhinocerous and the most vocal, making noises such as whistles, whale-like calls and what scientists call ‘the eep’.
A male Sumatran rhino calf was born Nov. 25 at Indonesia’s Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary in Way Kambas National Park, marking the second birth at the facility in as many months.
Independent estimates put the species’ wild population at no more than 47 individuals, so each new birth increases hopes the species can be saved from extinction; the new calf brings the captive population up to 11.
#feilnerism: #Ökofaschisten sind Menschen, die vom Klimakollaps profitieren und anderen absprechen, Recht zu haben. Dafür ignorieren sie die Wissenschaft auf skrupellose, intrigante und lügnerisch-verleumderische Weise. Beispiele: #Blume, #Wissing#Aiwanger u.v.m.
Ökofaschisten gewinnen Anhänger mit dem Versprechen, man müsse nix ändern und fangen wie Rattenfänger die kindlichen Gemüter ein, die wie ein Frosch im heißen Wasser die Veränderungen nicht bemerken. #ionesco#rhinos#klimakollaps

After 40 million years, the Sun may be setting for one of the world’s largest land animals. Three of the five surviving rhino species are critically endangered, poaching rates are off the charts, and the northern white rhino is down to a single representative.
