1 male, 3 females left. Still amazed this shit happens in the world that a species can be wiped out by poachers who know the impact, yet still do it. At least, when our forefathers took out the tatonka, we could vouch for the stupidity!

The lone purple rhino can be heard on a somewhat regular basis on 670 from 9-1.

Saw somestuff about patroling the areas of Rhino habitats with drones, sounded like it made sense, as it just covers so much area and its kind of easy to spot the dust from the vehicle, then zip over. I understood some guys in a jeep defending 1000s of acres had no chance.

That really shouldn't have made me laugh as hard as it did. So bad.

Yeah.. I know its really difficult to patrol all that rough terrain with a handful of guys . I read something a few years back where these scumbags roll up in a chopper out of nowhere n see a Rhino...blast it from the sky n land ...sawzall the horn off n take off ...leave the carcass . WTF !

Did I just watch a guy jack off a rhino? Tell you what, that rhino has a pretty sweet life.

I am not going to watch the video but am I correct in assuming this last rhino is now in a zoo or something with his girlfriends getting busy?
