In South Africa, rhinos are being hunted in increasing numbers.
Criminals hunt rhinos in order to obtain rhino horns, but they do not think that such a move will cause many consequences, in addition to the gradual extinction of rhinos, but also many young rhinos lose their mothers and cause psychological trauma.
Recently, a heart-wrenching incident occurred in Kruger National Park in South Africa, where a baby rhino was hunted for its mother and tried to find a new mother in a passing car...
Whenever a car stops, the little rhino will approach and rub the car, hoping that someone will take it away.
This behavior is called imprinting, in which a small animal tries to find a substitute when it loses its mother and cannot take care of itself, whether the object is a human or an object. For example, small animals often chase the safari car after losing their parents.
Luckily, Little Rhino meets Debbie English, a fourth-year veterinary student. He and his father, a national park ranger, are coming to the area to find this poor little rhinoceros.
Since the baby rhino is only two months old, for its safety, Debbie's father, Don, decides to inject it with tranquilizers and then airlift it out of the national park.
The poor little rhino was out of breath during the transport process, but eventually recovered. It's already very healthy, starting to drink milk and play, but it's going to take a little time to get back into the wild.
It's really heart-wrenching! Poor little rhinos were only two months old and had lost their mother because of irresponsible criminals. In addition, the South African government has warned that rhinos in South Africa are likely to become extinct by 2026!
