Morning Starters: Summer 2 - Teamwork (2)
Did You Know?
Conservationists in Africa have developed a unique method to help rhinos in danger. To move them to safer areas, they sedate the rhinos and airlift them by helicopter to their new location. This operation requires incredible teamwork, from the pilots to the vets. Saving rhinos this way may seem difficult and extreme, but it could be crucial to ensuring their survival.
