Mom & Babe

Mother and calf of White Rhinoceros or Square-lipped rhinoceros / Breitmaulnashorn (Ceratotherium simum)

side by side in the bush of Karongwe Game Reserve, Limpopo Province, South Africa

 

But when you look at this idyllic scene, don't forget, that poachers killed an unprecedented 1,004 rhinos across South Africa in 2013. Officials announced a 50 percent spike from the previous high of 668 set in 2012. The new record also marks a 4,463 percent increase in rhino poaching over the past decade.

 

STOP that cruelty - nibble fingernails and save the Rhinos !
