This time, the rangers reached the dead rhinos first and confiscated the horns, but unfortunately they were too late to save the rhinos. <br><br> Rhino Horns Responding to a report of shots fired, rhino rangers tracked a group of poachers who had fatally shot a bull and calf, wounded the calf’s mother, and most likely killed another female as well.
