Rhinos at Dvur Kralove Zoo to have horns removed, Czech Republic - 21 Mar 2017
Every rhino at Dvur Kralove Zoo in the Czech Republic will have its horns removed to save them from poachers after an animal was slaughtered at a French wildlife park. Dvur Kralove zoo currently has a herd of 21 black and southern white rhinos. The rhinos will be put under anesthesia before vets remove their horns. The horns will be removed with a chainsaw and the sharp edges will be filed down. On March 7 a zoo in Thoiry near Paris said unknown intruders had killed a male rhino from the critically endangered southern white subspecies for its horn. Black market rhino horn sells for up to $60,000 (56,400 euros, GBP 49,400) per kilo - more than gold or cocaine - with most demand from China and Vietnam where it is coveted as a traditional medicine and aphrodisiac.

Male rhino arrives for romantic date with female at Woburn Safari Park, UK - 30 Jan 2017
*Full story: https://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/t3ky
It's the rhino equivalent of online dating, as Woburn Safari Park's keepers get ready to set up their Southern white rhino female, Makusi, with a new romantic date this Valentine's Day. Otto, her prospective suitor, is a visiting male rhino to Bedfordshire's spacious wildlife park, where keepers are pinning their hopes on it being a 'love match' as part of the European Endangered species Programme (EEP). Otto comes on loan from Colchester Zoo, via a specialist animal transport company and two industrial sized cranes to help him move in.

Award-winning Yorkshire Wildlife Park today/ yesterday (Thursday) welcomed two critically endangered black rhinos.
The two-year-olds – Hodari and Dayo - arrived at YWP just after 8am in a truck after traveling 800 miles from their birth place of Berlin Zoo.
The pair, each weighing about 750 -880 kg (when mature they will weigh up to 1500 kg) took the overnight ferry from Hoak van Holland to Killingholm before embarking on the final leg of the journey to Yorkshire by road.
The young rhinos were very lively on arriving at the Park and it was a delicate operation to manoeuvre the crate into position and to release the young rhino into their new purpose built house which measures 16 metres by 35 metres. They will settle in here for a few days and get to know the rangers who will be caring for them before venturing out into their extensive reserve in the Africa section of the Park.
Animal Collection Manager Simon Marsh said "We are really excited about the rhinos arrival as they are so critically endangered in the wild. It is great that we are now part of the European breeding programme and will be working tirelessly to raise funds and awareness for black rhino in the wild as well. Our rangers have been preparing and working hard to make it as smooth a transition as possible for Hodari and Dayo. They will not be on view to our visitors until they are settled and out in the reserves but hopefully that will be within the next week or so”.
Their arrival is another triumph for Yorkshire Wildlife Park, which is committed to conservation and welfare.
Black rhinos were almost extinct in 2011 until concerted efforts around the globe brought them back from the brink and numbers have grown to around 5,000.
The rhino population declined by 96% from 65,000 in 1970 to less than 3,000 by 1993 from a devastating period of poaching for their horns which are used to make ornamental crowns, cups and ceremonial daggers as well as fo
