[BlackOrchid66]

Does anyone know when this airs on TV?

Can't wait, I loved Stephen Fry in America, I think he's brilliant, lol :P

OMG, it must be so stressful for the poor animal :( I know it's asleep, but don't tell me it doesn't feel anything :( But I know that Stephen wouldn't hurt a fly, so perhaps he knows better.

Reminds me of those "abducted by aliens" testimonies ... no-one will believe the poor rhino. "Seriously, there's a big chunk of my ear missing, and I had bruises all over..."

Im just amazed they can get what looks like standard size needles thru rhino skin.

It's a poor 'little' rhino in the same way Stephen is short :)

Thank you so much for these Fry. It made my otherwise boring day :D

[ayalanetzer]

It looks a bit bad and a constant reminder is needed to understand that it's for the good of them, but it's so wonderful people are doing that. Anyway, I still don't really understand why they take the ear notch out.

[strewth]

It's great to see people dedicated to our wildlife. And thanks Stephen for doing this program. Can't wait for it.

With regards to the ear notch, it's to help them identify this particular rhino; I think the notches are made according to a particular scheme or pattern at the time of immobilisation. Works better than tags, as the latter would probably be lost or torn off, is inexpensive, and more visible from a distance.

Thank you for explaining this.

[majblomma2000]

Thank you SO much for posting these!! It is so nice to see this when we've been following you on twitter and see and hear you in action.

Very interesting.

I bet Stephen kept the piece of ear :-P

[ZazouPSB]

Fascinating. Thanks for these videos and the regular twitter updates. With so many people involved it seems chaotic, but I'm sure they all know and care what they're doing. Great stuff. - Ahh, the famous ear notch from Twitter :)

Great narration

I had a feeling throughout the whole video that a pair of socks had something to do with this vid. :)
