Looks like the white rhino will be going the way of the do-do bird soon.

"Dodo" in French means "sleep" (in baby talk). When it comes to the white rhino, I think it is humanity that is tragically "dodo".

I grew up in Southern Africa - there is not much more humbling and impressive than seeing the power of a white rhino in the wild. Indeed, I have been charged by a male and impressed with what a quick study I am in the emergency tree climbing dept. To see one in a zoo is just too heart-rendering for me, I simply refuse, however I do understand and support the need for breeding programs.

Agree with you Wadard. I see they're issuing limited hunting licenses for black Rhino now. Nothing is sacred! Bet you're homesick! Greetings from KwaZulu-Natal.
