A Rhino poached for its horn
Uttam Saikia for WTI
A male rhino has been killed in Kaziranga National Park. The bullet riddled body with its horn chopped off was found on a remote sandbar by the Brahmaputra inside the park. The animal appeared to have been killed two or three days ago.
This is the fifth rhino to be killed by poachers in and around the park this year. On August 30th, a female rhino was killed by poachers for its horn. Patrolling has been intensified in the area. Park officials say that rhinos straying outside the park are difficult to track and protect as they are constantly on the move.
