Photo by @brentstirton | This is an almost fully formed rhino fetus taken from the womb of a dead female killed by poachers for her horn. A number of South African veterinarians I have worked with told me that a higher number of the poached rhinos they are seeing are female and many are pregnant. This is something that may be regional in terms of the distribution of males and females. Either way, every killing of a pregnant female doubles the number of rhino actually lost in a poaching incident. This is a fact that often goes unmentioned when numbers are reported. Official South African statistics paint a picture of more equal poaching rates for males and females. Females are reportedly more social and gregarious than bulls and can be easier for poachers to track. Females often have a calf with them and they will stay to defend the calf rather than run away, that often makes them an easier target for poachers.
