Rhinos are dying. Poaching, habitat loss, and genetic fragmentation have collectively pushed rhino populations to the brink of extinction. Illegal and deadly horn poaching is far and wide the greatest threat to rhinos. To deter this gruesome practice often calls for extreme measures… like chainsawing off a rhino’s horn.
This is the reality of the fight to save rhinos.
In this episode, Coyote’s on-location at the Kariega Game Reserve shadowing the incredible Dr. William Fowlds as he conducts two important veterinary rhino procedures. It’s a race against the clock to protect these vanishing giants before they’re lost forever.
We have a plan to put things back on track. Brave Wilderness is partnering with Kariega Game Reserve, Global Conservation Force and Bear Grylls to Save The Horns.

This is the reality of rhino conservation efforts today, as the illegal demand for rhino horns fuels poaching. We need your help to make a difference.
What did you think about this episode? What do you think about this veterinary procedure?
It sucks that we have take the horns i feel bed but we have take our animals but we have take Ourselves first
Hmm, I appreciate his holistic perspective on poaching. I never thought about how some poachers might feel forced to do that for survival. It comes down to greed from some of the wealthiest among us. I am wondering how the absence of a horn affects the rhinos? Anyone know? I appreciate them removing it in a safe way that didn't harm the animal and they smoothed it out.
Are they trying to help the bright white rhino or are they trying to kill the white Reno I don’t know❤❤❤❤❤ Hope you’re trying to help the white rhino😊
They saved the black rhinos and white rhinos!
Hay Coyote I am a big fan.
That's evel
This is so sad I am crying 😢
Mas, o rinoceronte nao fica indefeso sem o chifre?????
Matar um animal maravilhoso como este para pegar o chifre e' desprezivel demais.
It makes me feel so mad that people think that just because they are the highest species they can just hurt others creatures with no remorse
How is the rhino going to protect himself
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu,!👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hate you • you are killing animals😭😭😭
Thandi is still alive, although her horn will never grow back. She’s one of the few rhinos to survive being poached.
He is doing this to prevent pain and suffering. If you are confused, watch 6:49 for his explanation.
Good thing he asked to talk about the horn imagine if it got up while they were cutting it
Why don't they just destroy the horn in that moment? Why store it in an "undisclosed location". Glad the rhinos survive but I wouldn't be surprised if these organizations were still selling the horns on the black market. Think about it… why store it? Destroy the horns. Only reason for storing it is because there's an intention to use it for something, most likely profit. I dunno, just something to think about…
don't cut the rhino's horn than dangeros
what will happened to the cut horn? sell it? This video didn't explain about it..
Why are you cutting the things home full thing
Menschen bitte auf Verständnis wie Wildlife funktioniert es
I feel like the GPS tracker in the horn is the best idea and I don’t know the consequences of a poacher cutting the horn off a rhino but we should also give the harshest punishment Death and I feel like or at least hope that most poachers would not take the risk of cutting off a rhino horn with a GPS tracker in it tracking their every move because they would eventually get caught and be sentenced to death
Sorry rhino
