Enraged hippos should be released on the set of The View.

The northern white rhino is gone, but the southern white rhino is still around (or it is the other way around).

You've got it right, yogagirl. There are two Northern rhinos left, but they're both female.

maybe these days, but I bet It would have been much more difficult 100 years ago.

Rhinos are dumb, can barely see, and love to charge. That would be a disaster simply for our roadways.

Been out of town quite a bit, staying at my uncle's ranch quite a bit. It is a great place to get away from it all. Going riding this afternoon, as the weather is perfect.

Stayed at a few other places too, mostly good places.

Confirmed: Louisiana drivers are part rhino.

Put the rhinos where the major highways aren't.

True. Mice and rats were introduce in the 1800's (by accident) to South African Antarctica. Feral cats were there too. So, the SA government removed all the cats but not the mice. So, all the mice and rats are eating albatross chicks/eggs and some of the rats are huge and attack the adult birds.

Good job! Rabbits in Australia same problem. Feral hogs are a problem here.

Too cold.

Actually, probably better to put them in Mexico, but poacher protection there would be very problematic.

I'm sure I'll end up losing this argument.

There is a project being developed (or that was) to bring some white and black rhinos to the South Texas grasslands.
