RHINO COLLARING INTERVENTION With any rhino intervention, after the vet has darted the rhino from the chopper, it takes between 5 and 10 minutes for the rhino to eventually go down. Often the ground crew will get there before the vet and the first task is to fit a blindfold and ear buds on the rhino. This serves to desensitise the rhino from any external stressors that they can see and hear, meaning the vet and ground crew can safely get to work on an important conservation intervention for this threatened species. #wildlife #wildplanet #wildanimals #Rhino #africa
