They Lied About Rhinos and You Believed Them

I was able to see Nola, a Northern White Rhino, at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in March of 2015. It was the best birthday present that I had given myself at that point in my life. Unfortunately, Nola died in November of that year. I had driven from Michigan to San Francisco, stayed there a few days, then headed down to San Diego for the remainder of my vacation. L.A. was avoided at all costs.

I had no idea that poacher poachers exist. Who don't we have a videogame about that??? That's cool af

❤❤❤❤

WHY the CURSED THUMBNAIL 🥲😭

ofc the black ones

There's an important distinction to be made from "believing" something and not giving a shit

Very good coverage

lol the rehabilitations has 1 white caretaker out 200 caretakers but somehow… Somehow the white caretakers gets all the exposure as if they ate not there the orphans wont get the life saving care.

I do think it's a good idea to treat all wildlife as dangerous, ie don't touch wildlife, but I do always feel skeptical as someone who's passionate abt ocean conservation (great whites and orcas specifically) when animals are heavily demonized.

Crypto poaching is a thing, people invest in exotic animal products thats liquidated into digital asset, essentially turned into bitcoin/crypto currency. It is one of the new emerging investment trends

8:16 tf I was just hugging my pit bull and said its like a lil rino 2 seconds you said pit bull and mentioned 4 wall that shit was mad

“We shouldn't humanize them.” It always annoyed me when people would say this, cause it's not that we're humanizing them. It's that they're bringing out the humanity in us. We didn't make them act this way we just didn't see it before so it forces us to see them for what they are. An individual who can act the way it wants to. Sometimes as a cuddle bear and sometimes as an aggressive bear. That's part of why understanding animal behavior is so useful in the wildlife biology field.

never knew they were so complex and cute creatures. i only knew the name but not types

1:25 Armored puppy gouging the throat of a cow.

Armor plated puppies!yes! I believed the slander until I took a trip and fell in love.

Those rangers must have some really good stories, not just like the real shit, i mean like supernatural stuff id love to hear it

FINALLY, a good, non-AI video in my feed. Just a matter of time, though, before every aspect of real videos like this (in this case, right down to the dreadlocks) will be duplicated into clickbait.

Rhinos in general are an endangered species. but there are different types of rhinos some of sub species variants are extinct or near extinct one sub species of rhino that is functionally extinct is the norther white rhino who are down to essentially 2 surviving females and no males the male rhino of the species had to be euthanized due to it's old age of 45 years old it's unknown how much genetic material from this rhino has been saved to potentially fertilize eggs of a female rhino to bring the species back if at all any.. The southern white rhinos have a population of around 15,000. Rhinos in general there are less than 30,000 in the world mostly due to poaching and land development. which is less than half as many that lived in the 1970's alot of the world's survivng rhinos though live in specialized circumstances zoo's nature preserves, and some inside very rich people's personal estates one such rhino was owned by a cartel king pin and they opted to euthanize it mostly due to who owned it rather than reintroduce it back into the wilderness or place it in a zoo somewhere. chances are they will inevitably go extinct as society continues to overpopulate and expand.. They simply don't grow in mayo jars they need 1000's of acres to roam around.

Think it was near 20 years ago another rhino variant went extinct cause farming as they had a special type of apple they evolved around that they evolved to eat and the apple crops were destroyed to make room for soybean fields and there simply wasn't enough food for the rhino to eat afterwards. beleive it was the western black rhinos.

"Have some pri..it be like that"
Dude your way with words is awesome
