KENYA — Moving heavy wildlife… by hand: Kenya Wildlife Service rangers and capture team pull out a sedated black rhino from the water in Nairobi National Park, Kenya, Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2024. Kenya has embarked on its biggest rhino relocation project ever and began the difficult work Tuesday of tracking, darting and moving 21 of the critically endangered beasts, which can each weigh over a ton, hundreds of miles in trucks to a new home. A previous attempt at moving rhinos in the East African nation in 2018 was a disaster as all 11 of the animals died.
