On Thursday an airplane called Gazelle will take its first flight across the South African plain to help the fight to protect Rhinos in their natural habitat. The Gazelles whole purpose is to fight off poachers both day and night. With the airspeed of 310 kilometers per hour and a range of 670 kilometers and a night vision capable cockpit there's no doubt that Rhino poaching and hunting will be at an all time low very soon.
I think this is a great idea and I'm glad the SANP (South African National Park) is funding something like this. Poaching is a hyenas crime and I'm glad people are starting to take it more seriously. Rhinos are rapidly becoming and endangered species and they do need to be protected.

What a great idea! I hope the concept works as well as it sounds like it will
ReplyDeleteThis is so great. I'm glad people are taking a lead in trying to stop poaching and that they are saving animals.
ReplyDeleteThis is smart! Someone needs to deter those poachers
