The World Wildlife Foundation recently released video of a rhino rescue in South Africa. Nineteen black rhinos were airlifted to a new conservation site. It's part of an effort to protect them from poaching and to increase their population.
The two-ton rhinos were sedated and blindfolded, then hoisted by their ankles and air-lifted by a military helicopter.
After the flight, the rhinos were loaded onto trucks and driven the rest of the journey.
