Renosters laat Eskom kop krap

Note
Location World Subject Behaviour Species White Rhino (simum)

White rhinos in Sabie Sand Game Reserve use the electricity poles leading to the lodge and waterholes in the reserve as rubbing posts. The problem was solved by reinstating the poles and surround them with large boulders. Parts of the damaged poles were put back again for the rhinos to use as rubbing posts.
