Rhinos relocated by helicopter in S. Africa

CAPE TOWN, South Africa

The rhinos were blindfolded, sedated and then hoisted up into the air by helicopter in an effort to move them from one part of the country to another.

The artificial migration was part of an effort to save the critically-endangered animals, which are often prime targets for poachers.

There are only 4,000 black rhinos left in Africa and a record 341 have been killed by poachers this year.
