Rhinos are dying. Poaching, habitat loss, and genetic fragmentation have collectively pushed rhino populations to the brink of extinction. Illegal and deadly horn poaching is far and wide the greatest threat to rhinos. To deter this gruesome practice often calls for extreme measures… like chainsawing off a rhino’s horn.
This is the reality of the fight to save rhinos.
In this episode, Coyote’s on-location at the Kariega Game Reserve shadowing the incredible Dr. William Fowlds as he conducts two important veterinary rhino procedures. It’s a race against the clock to protect these vanishing giants before they’re lost forever.
We have a plan to put things back on track. Brave Wilderness is partnering with Kariega Game Reserve, Global Conservation Force and Bear Grylls to Save The Horns.

FOR THOSE THAT DONT UNDERSTAND. Us cutting our nails is what rhinos feel when cutting their horns (nothing). The reason he’s cutting the horn is so poachers don’t kill the rhino just for the horn. Poachers don’t care for the well-being of the animal and will kill it for the horn. Coyote is just making this one less of a target
@UC5Bb5UhmBNzYjDVBjiQkQvw He didn’t. He painlessly cut the horn so poachers do not kill and cause pain to the animal. Poachers won’t target this rhino since it has no horn
well said
@@majorpizza383 oh i see
and how will the rhino defend itself against predators?! Will he use his tail!! You have to find another excuse to justify this crime
They won't be able to defend themselves from predators in nature
For all those who are mad, Coyote has made it clear that this is not something they want to do but it is necessary to protect the life of that rhino.
Those wo are mad didn't watch the video. Coyote explained it well and he was visibly upset that they needed to do that
I didn't watch the video and I already knew exactly why they did it.
@@mcdragon0123 you know? My grandfather once said that by simmering the bones of tigers to the point of mushiness actually have health benefits and because of these, the poachers poaches them and the government is trying to spread the information that they are just as useless as human nails
True 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Explain please
It's so sad that we need to take such steps to protect these beautiful creatures. :,(
I cried just watching it walk away with no horn
😢😢😢😢
Exactly. I'm speechless.
Bro they can grow it back
@@SamnangHengLeap-gf3dq very slowly tho
Coyote did such a great job explaining why this is necessary and how terribly sad it is to have to do. These creatures have been making humans marvel for almost as long as humanity has known about them, but they're on a course to go extinct in our lifetimes, simply because of greed.
It's a sad future if the only rhinos left are in videos and museum exhibits.
What's even sadder is that even if he did such a good job explaining, there's a bunch of people repeating word for word what he said in the video, in order to farm meaningless engagement through TH-cam comment likes. Now that's sad
@@J.R.Swish1boo hoo
Listen, the main thing he is trying to stop is *not* the removal of the rhinos' horns by poachers. What they're trying to prevent is the poachers killing the rhino *in the process* of removing the horn. The poachers usually remove the horns from the roots, causing death. Coyote removes it from above the skin so the rhino is unharmed
I understood that for the White rhino
But i dont understand what he did for the black rhino
Can u explain to me pls
@@heem622 It's the exact same thing as what @Soliddz described. They are trying to stop the removal of the rhino's horns by poachers which results in the killing of rhino's. All poachers care about is having a trophy so they can say "Look at this. This is from this rhino that we hunted".
And then what do they do with the horns, sell them to China for their mystical medicines
@@Donald_Allan ye but by making in the blacks rhino horn how does that stop poachers
@@heem622 maybe it sends a signal when it's being poached?
Actually hate that we’ve gotten to the point that this is what we have to do in order to save their life’s. Much rather have hornless rhinos roaming around than no rhinos at all. Keep up the good work.

This is probably the most simple explanation if your’re confused: Poachers kill rhinos for the horn. By removing the horn, the rhino is less likely to be killed because the poacher sees it has no horn. The removal of the horn is harmles.
You're*
Edit: fixed.
Yo dumbo listen here horns are the things which protect them in the wild what should they do without there shield?
NO THE POACHERS DONT KILL THE RHINO THEY CUT THE WHOLE ENTIRE HORN WICH GOES UNTIL THE SKIN THEN THE RHINO DIES AFTER A WHILE COYOTE REMOVED THE HORN BEFORE THE SKIN SO ITS HARMLESS

It always makes me cry knowing how little people value animals. Thank you so much Coyote and the team for saving these precious beings ❤
I rather have a rhino live than get 10k$ it's not worth it there aren't many left anyway people are so greedy 😡
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD People need to watch the full video! They don’t understand anything at ALL. Seriously this is saving the rhinos stopping poachers from killing them.
For those who are confused about how they will defend themselves against predators I’ll explain. Although rhinos don’t even have natural predators, things wouldn’t wanna target it due to its size and tough skin. Even if something were to target it, a large rhino hitting something with those nubs it would be catastrophic for the predators. They are in reservations constantly being watched. WE ARE MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE PREDATORS. Let’s keep those rhinos safe❤️
Edit: some people are wondering why I made this and it’s causing some confusion, Some other people were asking how they’d protect themselves with no horn. I understand that we are the problem but I was clearing the confusion of the predator problem❤️
BRO WE ARE THE PREDATORS YOU REALIZE THAT RIGHT
@@KINGMONKE5 Not so. Predators eat they're prey. We kill them and leave them.
@@gidthekid8445 predators hunt that animal they dont have to eat it to be predator
@@KINGMONKE5 IKR
Your so smart and your right everyone should respect not only rhinos but life
The amount of people in the comments saying "the rhino's can't defend themselves now" VASTLY underestimate them. All animals are fully capable of adaptation. Not only that, rhino's are literally tanks. They are more than capable of defending themselves without their horns. Some people need go get a grip, and do some research before hating.
Also rhinos mainly use their horns for mating purposes. Which usually can cause one of the 2 males fighting for the female wounded. In normal circumstances this is fine but since the rhino population is so low this behavior is not that helpful the conservation effort.
@@transfoogel3725 these rhinos in particular are on a reserve, so I imagine there isn't must tussle for mating. But even if they weren't, what other option would you suggest? Nobody here likes the idea of cutting off the horn, but what else can they do?
@@pitohui1800 non harmful radioactive implants work too. You implant a radioactive isotope (that isnt harmful to the rhinos) and a geiger counter can detect it. So when the rhino gets poached, the horn will not likely get pass boats and security checks as they always check for radioactive material. This will decrease the amount poaching as the poachers could risk getting a radioactive horn. Even if the horn gets pass border security, the value of a radioactive horn is not so low that its not worth it compared to a genuine non radioactive horn.
@@transfoogel3725 apologies, but that isn't a solution at the end of the day. The rhino is still killed, and worst of all, the poachers end up killing it to just throw out the keratin. This method is in an effort to prevent the rhino's being killed in the first place. Poachers will only use their resources to kill rhino's that are worth it, not to kill one for nothing.
@@transfoogel3725 he is talking about the rhino being able to protect itself against lions after the horn is removed, not the ability to protect itself against poachers with the horn still on
EVERYONE HE DOESN'T WANT TO DO THIS BUT IT'S FOR THE RHINOS HEALTH DO NOT BE MAD
Terribly sad to see and definitely a hard pill to swallow, but as a long time viewer, thank you Coyote for spreading awareness about this issue. May the rhino population prosper
For people who are pissed:
By cutting off the horn, Coyote just saved the rhino from poachers, as poachers kill the rhino for the horn, but coyote and his team didn't. Poachers won't go for this rhino anymore, as it does not have it's horn. So they saved it's life.
Hope this quick explanation helped.
ohh thankss!
Rhino horns grow back tho
@@TheIronSolid im sure why it has a tracker on its ankle...

@@RonJeremy514 and a centipede!
I hate to burst your bubble. But, this man hurt an animal. You are not a rhino. For all you know, that rhino valued his horn more than you value your eyes.
He's doing this for a reason, it's not like he's doing it for no reason, he's doing that to protects the rhino from being killed. And that rhino was NOT hurt. It's just really sad people have to do that so they arent killed by poachers..
@@LF.Productions. You would never tolerate somebody knocking you out to take all your belongings and then claim that they are doing it so that somebody worse doesn’t come along and hurt you to take your stuff or worse. And, you shouldn’t tolerate it. Nobody has the right. Similarly, nobody has the right to take something away from a wild animal or permanently change them claiming that it’s because we are good noble humans.
He literally explains why it's necessary at the start so don't get all the negative comments this guy is saving lives
pov: you’re trying to find the people who are mad
Yea
Yes
newest first, you can find all the mostly children not really understanding what is going on.
When I saw the title I thought “this can’t be real” but I knew there had to be more bc coyote loves animals too much. Then I realized he’s doing it for a very good reason. So poachers do not hurt the rhinos bc of the way they remove them. He’s saving the rhinos. Coyote is a LEGEND. 🙏🏼❤️
Same. I saw the title and felt almost betrayed. Like, Coyote, how could you?! Then, I clicked on the video and heard his explanation, and immediately understood. I was so relieved that it wasn't what I thought at first glance, and while I'm also angered that this is happening, I also understand the necessity of the procedure. It's to keep the animal alive and safe.
I hate people. Like, I really hate humans. People like Coyote, though... they give me hope. Take my money, Coyote. I can't physically be out there fighting with you, but I can help fund the fight.
Me too
I can't believe he had to cut off a rhino horn it's one of their main weapons against predators
@@chrisd9906 they only cut off a 3/4 of the horn, the horn can still be used as a blunt weapon. Also Rhino’s are large; predators don’t engage with anything that looks large and imposing. Rhinos have an extremely high chance of getting poached rather than being eaten by predators, rhinos even have a larger chance of fighting each other instead of being hunted by predators.

@@user-eh2zp7gf4x watch the whole damn video you look like you havent watch this guys journey
Coyote is just one of those people who loves wild life and I love that keep up the good work :)
I remember watching a nature documentary back in the 90s, about how conservationists do remove rhino horns to prevent poaching, I am glad to see Coyote bringing this issue to a modern audience. Furthermore, I am relieved to see him remind a first world audience, that it is not just greed at play here, but desperation. A lot of this goes on in comparatively less "fortunate" parts of the world. He reminds us that some of the poachers are still human too, people who were just dealt a bad hand in life and they believe cutting more than the safe amount of a rhino's horn will help them out. It most certainly is a vicious and barbaric circle.
Well said.
THIS IS SO SAD. the fact that we NEED TO CUT HORNS for them not getting killed this is insane. im out of words. but great stuff crew!! keep it up love these big guys they deserve to roam africa!
Even the rhinos in the zoo can't have horns ,they have to be cut off too.
@@simonesmit5023 why not?
@@get2myhead just search it up

it absolutely breaks my heart that this is necessary because evil people choose to harm these animals, you are all amazing people for doing this, and I am very sorry for the guilt you have to carry from this
The fact is these people aren't always evil simply desperate.easy for us with all our luxuries to say how evil it is.but the guystealing that horn feeds his family for years. It's horrible that people should live in such poverty
@@Hunterxii I agree, a lot of poachers are probably just desperate and uneducated about the matter, I wish things were different, but until then, we can all just try our best to fix things in little ways
@@Hunterxii but you have to think about why they're in poverty as well. Warlords and tyrants who still control trade and money limiting the food that honest workers and villages get.

@@BruceSaidImDEO4L “dony” ironic
Money. That’s it. No care or respect for the animals we share this earth with. Personally, I’d rather hunt humans and sell their body parts. Specifically the ones who poach and the corrupt politicians/rich.
No. They aren't. It puts food on the table. The people who create the demand are the scum of the earth.
When you remove the horn, you effectively take away the reason why poachers kill rhinos in droves. The reality is that the only way you can save the rhino is by safely removing the horn, which is shown in the video. Is it sad? Yes. Would you rather poachers come and unsafely remove it so that the rhino dies? No.
But it seems like a bunch of people in the comments prefer the latter option😮💨
Wonder if the other solution is to start legalizing the killing of poachers
They didn’t watch the video. They just saw the title of the video that was kinda clickbaity cause it makes you think he’s poaching, but in the first 10 seconds of the video he’s all like “I’M NOT POACHING GUYS.”
One problem. You are not a rhino. You have no idea how much they value their horn. If there are humans who claim, “if I go blind, I’ll kill myself.“, Which is commonly said, how in the world do you know that they don’t feel that way about their horn? You don’t. None of us do. And, until we do, we don’t have the right to cut off their horn and claim that we are being all noble and shed a tear for the sadness that us great humans feel for the good that we must do even though it hurts. This is disgusting.
@@enigmatl00 I’m sure they value their life more than their horn. Cant pass on your genetics and reproduce if they get killed by poachers. It’s an entire other argument to try and say that rhinos or other animals have near the emotional complexity to place value on their horn in such a way that we value certain things.
@@jennyrebecca4daysold that’s not really true, the only people consistently hunting rhinos are poachers, because the horns are extremely valuable.
“You can’t fight this fight by being angry you fight this fight with having hope” Coyote there’s many words to describe your impact
This has to be the kindest guy, literally cutting off a rhinos horn so people don't kill it.
To the people complaining the rhino won’t be able to defend itself:
The chance of it being poached with the horn present is HIGHLY GREATER than any animal attacking and killing it without its horn.
nobody is attacking a Rhino, dudes are a powerhouse.

Everyone going on with the "How dare you cut off the rhino's horn!", It's to make sure the rhino isnt killed by a poacher for it's horns. Poachers dont care about the rhinos wellbeing and will kill them to take their horns, what they're doing here is technically helping the rhino by preventing poachers from going after the rhino since it has no horn to poach.
How will it defend its self now
It isn't like their horn is crucial for their own defense
@@DinosaurType any predator horn or no horn will target an adult rhino. It’s like an elephant without its tusk. It’s also a conservation reserve so predatory animals are probably regulated and kept low.

I hated watching this beautiful animal's horns being cut off, but it would meet a painful end if it didn't happen.
Awesome adventure indeed. I am so proud of Coyote's thoughts that he shared about Rhino poaching. I share the same feelings. We are living in a great era with the amazing technology (medicine, tracking devices, aerial drones, etc) that affords us the ability to do so many things we could not do before or that we can no do so much better. Blessings to all involved in the fight to save the amazing creatures like the Rhinos.
People underestimating rhinos just because their horns are severed really don't understand. They remain behemoths, still big and strong enough to charge opponents.
The horn's pretty important for their mating rituals and everyday life, but yes, they're not going to have any issues fighting literally anything that doesn't use military hardware.
@@corvespid4925 true, horn length can play a bigger a role in intersexual selection (females find big horns sexy) as intrasexual selection (males using their big horns for fighting).

The amount of people who got mad at Coyote for this video let's you know how intelligence deprived the earth's population is, in general 😂
Yeah, people did too much lead now you can see the repercussion on the IQ and would rather watch short plot theory Tik Tok clips for two hours instead of a documentary for two hours.
The only downside to removing their horns without killing them is that they loose there main form of defence but it's a worthy sacrifice to save there lives in the long run. A fully grown rhino doesn't need it's horn against predators as most will go after something a little less dangerous. So I think this is a necessary "evil" to save a species👍
Godless you coyote, thank you for educating everyone to the best of your ability, your impact is huge!

“When will you realize the more you take, the less you have?” - Master Oogway
My dad was in Africa in the 70’s and 80’s during his military service as a veterinarian; he used to talk a lot about his conservation of the black rhinos by cutting the horns off and many other animals working with the people of the “bush”. He was passionate about having these animals around for the next generation to see in the wild instead of in zoos. It’s a real shame the problem is still on going years later.

Poaching rhinos for their horns is not only cruel, but foolish. Instead of cutting the horn where it can grow back, poachers take the entire thing and leave the rhino to die.
If it’s a question of would I rather see A.) a rhino without its horns but alive. or B.) a dead rhino with its face sliced off after having its horns brutally ripped out. I think I’d choose A.
B, cause it would be cool to see that, not so cool for a, boring animal.

I was a lover of animals big and small as a child where most people would think of me as weird, and ofc, I still am a massive animal lover. They will always have a near and dear place to my heart for being majestic and beautiful as they are, even things like snakes, spiders, and other creepy crawlers that balance out ecosystems. I saw when Dude Perfect went to South Africa and did this for rhinos too, so I am all too familiar with the concept of dehorning them to save them. Also, these wildlife experts cut the horns not too far down to where, after a period of time, they actually grow back. So don't feel too bad about that but I feel bad for us humans naively hurting or fearing things we don't understand. It's always a big conception between the relationships of humans and animals and explains a lot of misconceptions people have on animals and where it's mainly based on. I, and a lot of other animal lovers, are tired and sick of this and all these people are trying to do is to a save a species that can possibly become extinct not too long from now. Maybe talk with people about stuff you might learn from this channel or other wildlife channels out there to spread the truth, instead of false assumptions, and to spread life and flourishment for all these animals, instead of increased chances of death and extinction. Thank you.

I also love animals
wow i really do love this channel. shows us such beautiful animals, but also the harsh reality they have to face. human intervention to save their lives to prevent poaching… it’s so sad. very thankful to have guys like this to look out for these creatures. amazing work
Hi
Coyote, the addressing of every corner of the situation starting at 10:40 is much appreciated and has insights everybody should pay attention to. Thank you 👍🏻
So sorry, my sister was typing, and I did not mean to say that, but thank you so much for helping r
inos
It's all good ma guy
Even if this guy helps one animal in the world, he’ll be happy because he just saved one out of 5000 animals life and I’m just happy for this guy and I subscribed to him
You could just see Coyotes emotion when he holds the horn right after removal, and him speaking about it moved me to tears. Thank you Coyote and crew. ❤️
Even without the horn a Rhino charging can STILL break bones and kill a predator if they aren’t careful.
Coyote: I’m going to hold back a rhino
Me: WHAT!
The fact that he had to cut off its horn to protect it is so sad 😢
The situation made me feel so sad, but at the same time I'm grateful that still exist people like Coyote, the Dr. and his team that make a lot to help these beautiful animals. I hope all their efforts will succeed.
Imagine not watching at least a single minute of the video before commenting. People are too quick to jump the gun and assume the worst, which is wild considering all the good things Coyote has done on his channel.
If you have enough time to write a hateful comment, you have enough time to actually watch the video and get the facts first.
Yes, people can’t focus for a single minute these days. They would rather watch TikTok videos that last 10 seconds and full of false information for two hours straight instead of reading a book or watching a documentary for two hours. Lead poisoning was bad enough on people’s IQ but social medias are doing even worse I feel.

@@Bigzthegreat do you want me to explain why he cut off the rhinos horn?
@@iasked8602 there seems to be no sign of intelligent life here
@@Bigzthegreat yes I do not have intelligence
Anyways they do it to save the rhinos
Instead of poachers killing the rhino
And taking the whole horn leaving the rhino a slow and painful death
I would rather see the rhinos with no horn and not suffering than with its horn cut off and suffering.
This channel has some of the most impressive cameramen I have seen. Capturing some of the shots that they did AND maintaining a good shot even while sprinting away from an awakening black rhino. Absolutely stellar. Much love to Doctor Fowlds, Coyote Peterson, Alex's great flight skills, and the camera crew that let us all see it!
IT'S A SLOW PROCESS, BUT QUITTING WON'T SPEED IT UP. No matter how bad it is ,please keep pushing! It will all make sense ❣️🙏🏽
i don't know why you said this but thank you 😄
Thank you for this

At first I was mad cause I thought he was killing him, but then I realized that it's like cutting off your nails
I know this may be wrong to remove the piece from the Rhino’s horn. But it’s better than getting them killed by a poacher and removing down to the meat of the Rhinoceros horn.
I clicked on this video and was almost disappointed. Thank God it wasn't what I thought. Hats off to Coyote for his big heart and compassion towards this species
This is brilliant, and I'm so glad it's being done. I hope it expands and that we can get accurate medical information to the communities who misunderstand what they are doing from start to finish, so all lives involved can be saved.
And for anyone mad - We're literally giving it a facial-manicure to save its life. I can promise you they would rather be hornless and *alive* than hornless, in agony, and then deformed or, more likely, dead.
It’s not to hurt the rhino’s it’s to protect them from poachers
Maybe this should be done for elephants? I want them saved, too
Coyote, Mark, Mario, and the rest: You truly are heros, sometimes it feels like we're fighting in a losing battle. Thanks to you, I have hope. I feel very bad for this rhino, but u did a good thing.
True also something completely unrelated every time I see "mario" I think of "JEFFY EAT YOUR GREENBEANS" because of sml
@@LogShaw1587 YES. Bro I used to love SML so much
Well done for bringing awareness to this !!
YEA AGREE!
It’s a shame that this even is an issue
The sad thing is that poachers kill them anyways so they don't waste time tracking a dehorned one.
Anyone who believes that Coyote Peterson would ever intentionally harm an animal is ignorant in more ways than one. Any intelligent person would immediately understand it's a preventative measure against poaching. If he loses subs for this then good riddance I say, don't need narrow minded individuals in the pack anyway.
damn well said
@@jimmyjohnjoe3700 mmhm that is well said indeed my friend
So you're telling me that it's perfectly possible to de-horn a Rhino WITHOUT killing them... And yet these poachers still CHOOSE to let a rhino bleed to death as opposed to leaving with a little less horn??
Greed and lack of education
Actually, when you kill them you can get the whole horn, if you dont, then you can just get a little piece of them becouse the bleeding would kill them. Keeping that in mind, it would be better for them to breed and use them as livestock or something like that instead of hunting them to extinction.
on top of that, they could safely remove the horn AND get this, wait for it to grow back and do it repeatedly without harming the animal
poachers kill rhinos to get the entire horn
The way he speaks about these animals is absolutely beautiful
I GOT THIS VIDEO TITLE WHEN YOU FINISHED SAYING SAVE THE HORNS IN ANOTHER VIDEO 😂😳😬
8:35 "He's in first gear, we're gonna change to second." I died lmao
There’s a very unfortunate fact we have to face, however: poachers will kill whatever adult rhinos they find, horned or not. They track them for days, and don’t want to get distracted tracking a hornless rhino. Therefore, if they find they’ve been tracking a hornless rhino for days, they’ll shoot that rhino anyways so that they never follow its tracks and waste time again. The only real way to stop poachers from killing and dehorning the rhinos is arresting, or killing, the poachers themselves.
You do not understand. It is healthy for the rhino horn to get cut off. The horn is like our nails we have to cut them. Coyote did not want to do it, but it is for the health of rhinos. Also if they kill then you should not kill them back, but go to court since rhinos are a protected species.
@@genetgobeze1092 i don't know much about rhinos, how is cutting their horn healthy
@@_notabee The part of it being healthy is that the Poachets kill them for horns. If you do not cut the horn from the root like the poachers it’s like clipping your tools nails. Chopping the horns keep them from not getting torn from the roots and die! Please understand and not hate brave wilderness,
That's the point. They won't track hornless rhinos and it's easy to see they don't have one! It makes them so much more likely to not be poached..if poachers see that all the rhinos in this area have no horns they won't go there anymore and the rhinos are safe!
They don't intentionally kill rhinos. They cut the entire horn off, which causes the rhino to bleed to death.
