Finally a rhino story to smile about!
There are only seven (!!!) known Northern white rhinos remaining in the world, and in 2009 four of these were moved from the Czech Republic to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. Their return to Africa was considered the last chance at preserving the genetic material of their sub-species - which has been poached to extinction in the wild. Experts believed that a return to their natural environment might induce hormonal changes to make the females (Najin and Fatu) receptive to breeding.
After a whole load of match-making by conservationists and a little bit of foreplay:
Three girls planning to take Southern Africa by storm in the Put Foot Rally 2012. 7 Countries in 17 days with one car, three erratic drivers and a running tally of gin bottles.
