Rare
rhino killing in Namibia
December 2012. So common has the killing of rhinos in South Africa become, that
it barely rates a mention nowadays, with more than 600 killed for their horns
in 2012 alone. However, the recent discovery of a dead female black rhino in
Namibia has sparked fears that the terrible onslaught on rhinos might be
crossing the border from South Africa.
The dead rhino was found in the remote Damaraland area of Namibia's north-western Kunene Region that borders Angola. Sadly, the female also had a young calf which could not survive without his mother.

According

were found and confiscated.
