© Michael Raimondo/WWF Black rhino being transported by helicopter to an awaiting land vehicle. The helicopter trip lasts less than 10 minutes and enables a darted rhino to be removed from difficult and dangerous terrain. The sleeping animals suffer no ill effect.
As part of conservation efforts, a group of 19 rhino’s were moved to a new range. Part of the journey involved a short helicopter trip. More from the WWF here.
