A white rhino was darted while grazing on the side of the N4, after the driver lost control of the vehicle transporting the two animals. The two animals (in separate vehicles) were in transit from Kruger Park to Viljoenskroon where they will be part of a breeding program.
The rhino was unharmed.

Bet there were a few aprehensive motorists that passed while it was 'on the loose'. :D
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
