Nakuro: A nervous woman, who was barely trapped by a trainkeeper Dart, who was trapped in a jungle area, who had rescued a low -flying helicopter who was trying to capture her.

The rhinoceros had the opportunity to move to another Kenyan park, but he managed to advance the operation.

A few moments later, the Rangers opened the thick brush in 4×4 vehicles – the crawled crane to carry it for the truck.

A decision was made to manage the trainer to prevent it from falling from falling. If she falls wrong, she can fall.

So the young woman will remain where she was born.

“Rhino is the worst of translating translators,” said Troh Shieldick, who was a helicopter pilot at Nakuro National Park in northwestern Kenya, a greenery oasis around a deep blue lake.

“When you drag them, if you are not too late, they are running straight for a thick bush, which is their protection,” he said.

“Whenever you are preparing a rhinoceros, you have a little fear. Because it’s a species in danger. Every animal is so important.”

Rhinos, which can weigh up to two tonnes, once in the desert Africa, in large quantities. But European colonial victims and subsequently illegal hunting pushed them to the brink of extinction.

Race against time

The International Rhino Foundation (IRF) says there are about 28,000 remaining in the world, which is about 24,000 in Africa.

Kenya has more than 2,000 of them home.

According to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), which manages the country’s parks, if many of his relatives live in the same place, Rhinos is less effectively reproducing.

Dominic Magel, who belongs to KWS, said, so it is important to move, but rhinoceros are the risk of train coilisters that reduce their breathing, increase body temperature and affect their heart rate.

So this is a race against time, as soon as a veterinarian, riding a helicopter, manages drugs using dart guns.

Five to seven minutes after the injection, the rhinoceros begin to feel bad.

Then it fell, as the AFP witnessed on the recent trip: After the first female bush was withdrawn, three other black rhinoceros were brought to Nicoro in a few hours.

A rescue team arrives on the site within two minutes of each shot, running well like a oil machine.

Nearly a dozen caregivers surrounded the animals, to sprinkle them with water, to cool their body temperature, rotate around them, their breath is not obstructed, managing oxygen and monitoring their important symptoms.

At the same time, several other Rangers protected the animals from the stream through the transport cage and attached the bumper in front of the jeep.

Fifteen minutes after the rescue team arrived, the anti -duties were arranged.

The animal was then shocking on his feet and was immediately guided in a cage, which was filled on the flat bed of a crane truck.

‘Number One’

Magel was proud of Kenya’s unprecedented skills.

“We are the first in the world,” he said. We have successfully migrated a lot of rhinoceros. “

Joann Zitz, owner of the private Sigra Reserve, where about 20 20 hugs has been transferred in the past two weeks, could not hide his relief after the latest operation.

Former Poma CEO and current Harley Davidson Executive said his 200 square kilometers of land, elephants, buffaloes, lions, leopards, leopards and more roaming.

But the reserve lacked the “famous species” who were present in Sigra for 60 years ago, but after that they disappeared.

He told AFP that the welcome to the rhinoceros is “to complete the protection work we have done as a foundation in the last 22 years” since the acquisition of land.

Zetz said that due to the high risk of being illegal for their horns, security measures with 100-150 new security staff had to increase significantly.

After the day, a small group witnessed the release of all three rhinoceros from Nakuro, who arrived in Sigra after a six -hour drive.

In the dense darkness of the night, they heard when the metal bars of the transport cages were removed, the doors were open, and heavy stumbling with Gutter Girls.

The rhinoceros had finally arrived in his new home.
