Experimental treatment for saving rhinos

Injecting rhinos’ horns with an anti-parasitic drug that is toxic to humans may help save them.

Nine-month-old rhinoceros called Vuma (C) rests with two others rhinoceros at the animal orphanage of Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve on July 21, 2010 in South Africa. The animal orphanage recently welcomed Vuma, who was orphaned after poachers hacked off his mother’s horn and left her dead.
