Notched ears …

… are not a Rhino fashion statement. These small triangle cut-outs on the ears were made by our wildlife department. Every Rhino on the reserve features a different notch pattern and is therefore easily identifiable from a distance. This helps Thanda Safari’s Monitors (= wildlife team members dedicated to tracking endangered species) to perform their task of keeping track of these endangered and prosecuted creatures. All our guides assist them by reporting any Rhino sightings to the monitors.
