Rinoceronte volando (Rhinos can fly) (Michael Raimondo, Sudáfrica, 04-11-2011)

Para ser salvado de los cazadores furtivos, el rinoceronte negro de 1400 kilos fue transportado en helicóptero a la provincia de Limpopo.

A herd of rhinos was relocated to its new home by a helicopter during a WWF rescue operation which saved them from death. Dangling from cords tied to their ankles, 19 black rhinos were transported out of the South African hills inaccessible by road in the country’s Eastern Cape.  The 1,400-kilo rhinos spent 20 minutes in the air and were then driven a further 1,000 miles to fresh breeding ground in the northern Limpopo province, away from poachers.
