SA rhinos get unlikely protectors

In South Africa, the demand for rhino horn is at an all time high, despite the black market price of around $55,000 per kilogram.

Over 300 cases of poaching were recorded just last year, more than triple that of the year before.




Now the elephant - with its acute sense of smell being used to halt poachers in their tracks - could be the rhino's unlikely protector.
