It’s actually “wide” rhino, referencing the mouth, that got converted to “white”, but that doesn’t change that there are now only 5 northern whites left in the world, and poaching was responsible.. Which, everyone talks about the “medicinal” use of rhino horn, but huge numbers were taken for making handles of the very expensive daggers that are part of “macho” cultural dress in some areas.
A few weeks ago, I posted that, in some ways, it is a great time to be alive; witnessing the first lunar landing, close-up pictures of most of the planets, magnificent images of celestial clouds and nebulae, a comet slamming into Jupiter, and landing a probe ON a comet!But it also sucks, fearing that I might also still be here to witness the extinction of a species of Rhino, and possibly the elephants!
