Black & White Rhinoceroses (both two-horned species) were native to Egypt in pre-dynastic times, but were likely extinct by the Early Dynastic Period. Still, rhinos remained known to later Egyptians through contacts & trade with other regions, and likewise were known in the Greco-Roman world, including being imported & put on display in Rome itself.

Helicopters from the Vietnam war are airlifting rhinos to safety!

In the best kind of plot-twist - using a war machine to save lives, Hueys are revolutionising rhino translocation across Africa; a conservation measure designed to create new populations and ensure genetic diversity.

The use of helicopters decreases the health risks associated with crate travel and long transportations due to lack of roads #Africa #rhinoceros #environment

#blast #rhinoceros fait une emission qui remet les choses en place sur la russie de poutine, et ses relais dans les médias (bolloré, mais pas que).

Et les commentaires sont une bonne piqûre de rappel sur le niveau de pénétration du discours pro-russe chez les gens qui se disent de gauche.

C’est toujours effarant, et effrayant.

Le dernier #Rhinoceros de #Blast, qui compare Hanouna à Trump et nous dépeint l’élection de 2027, est l’épisode plus plus terrifiant à ce jour.

J’ai hésité à mettre un TW tant c’est déprimant et alarmant. Si vous voulez vous faire peur, vraiment peur, avec une production tout aussi réaliste que malaisante, il y a Midsommar… et désormais il y a ce Rhinocéros 🥺
