Those lions are gonna have nightmares about giant vultures from now on.

[@michaelbaldwin5495]

The lions immediately sense the rhino is weak.I’ve been to Kruger National Park absolutely stunning 👍🙏❤️

[@chefonsafari1837]

Most people don't know how hard the vets work in Kruger, it's hard to see the rhino injury but I've called in rhino with limp before from bullet wound

[@MrSilus2000]

There shouldn’t be any work. Notice how it was non-native Africans killing all the big game, and now it’s non-natives trying to fix it. There shouldn’t have needed fixing to begin with. Nature was always mean to be wild, but this new world seems to be hell bent on taming literally every aspect of nature.

[@chefonsafari1837]

@@MrSilus2000 this rhino is injured from poachers and it's their jobs to help the rhino with bullet wound because they are endangered species no matter your colour.

[@MrSilus2000]

@@chefonsafari1837 Why are they an endangered species? Keep hiding from that question. Sounds like you have a lot of practice,

[@ikporu]

@@MrSilus2000 The men and women of today are not responsible for what happened outside of their timeline. These people, no matter their colour, are trying to make the present and future better. What are you doing to make the world better?

[@tereasacarty8000]

Definitely a pride!🦁

[@ramonarojo8548]

Awe, you people were just awesome, that is a beautiful 🦏 🤗😇

[@todburns]

Great flying, well done that pilot

[@celinejohnston4388]

Those lions wouldn't dare go near a non drowsy rhino. when that rhino fell, he or she looked huge to the man with a blanket

[@lushhclub819]

extreme stress for the Rhino

[@doubleutee2100]

Not today kitty!

[@michaelroebuck1340]

Mr. Rana , the Rhino had been darted , normally to either place a tracker or clip the ears for future identification . Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions .

[@WildlifeObsessed]

Michael Roebuck - Did you not notice the serious limp of the Rhino. Without their intervention, he was Lion lunch, for sure

[@WildlifeObsessed]

Awesome piece of work

[@italiangirl2789]

The lions lost themselves a good meal lol this is great footage to watch, nice work from the Vet Team 🦁🦏❤

[@user-de3gi7so8j]

adil mae dude, please take in mind that rhinos is only endagered because of humans. normally people wouldnt interfere with nature: but since the rhino got darted they protected it from lions.

[@Yahawadah70ad]

@@user-de3gi7so8j You mean muzungus...

[@McClarinJ]

They HAD to clear the lions out before they landed so it was self-interest rather than heroism

[@peterschmidt1453]

Title not quite accurate. It should read "Pilot OBLIGATED to protect drugged rhino from lions". Otherwise, well done for taking care of the wildlife.

[@JoSe-ci7oz]

👏👏👏👏👏👍

[@myriammeurrens7734]

thank you for saving it, it is the nature that a wounded animal is killed by other animals, but they are not much rhinos still alive, thank you

[@rogernamvet]

I'm halfway through the video, and it looks like I see a DART on the rear end of the rhino, perhaps indicating that the helicopter crew had darted the rhino with a sedative, perhaps the drug called fentanyl, which is used to sedate larger elephants. I'm wondering if the rhino was going to get some medical treatment, or perhaps airlifted to another reserve, or sometimes they do this and then land and saw the horn off, hoping that poachers will not kill the rhino to sell the horn, as it has already been removed????????????

[@chefonsafari1837]

Go wing unit

[@saeedsa820]

thank u

[@pearlyshells2430]

"The men and woman of SANparks Air-wing did an incredible job of saving this Rhino" who darted the rhino? obligation to the darted rhino not "SAVED". cowboys in africa who would have thought.

[@Blackfox_Kitsune]

i can only wonder why you had to dart the rhino (i know it'll be for a good reason) Good flying with the chopper you scared off the lions meaning all got to go about their day unharmed.

[@WildlifeObsessed]

Annabella Laws - Tricky to try and diagnose the injury while a Rhino is fully conscious - 2+ tons of angry battering ram.

[@arod2435]

So much for letting nature take its course.

[@ed2kou1]

AROD they the vets were taking care of it

[@bulllea]

the rhino was darted from the chopper ! what "nature" ?

[@user-ob6gq1uu5j]

Where is the helicopter...bad shot

[@Thelordkborn]

QUESTION OF THE DAY -- WHO SHOT HIM WITH THE DART

[@ajithkumar_ak90]

Plot twist : saved from lion and he killed it....

[@gregorygibbs6124]

Awesome video!! Can you tell me who took the footage?

[@WildestKrugerSightings]

I did.

[@WildlifeObsessed]

Gregory Gibbs - Spartacus.

[@hueyvan2007]

Saved him how?...... they darted him and caused tie problem.

[@rogernamvet]

What is kind of humorous to me is that in the video, the lions, videoed from far away, look small, and when they are running away from the noise and wind of the helicopter, they remind me of my house cats who run away when they are overwhelmed by fear, perhaps a car coming up the driveway, etc. LOL LOL

[@HungNguyen-id7hg]

Why didn't the vet team dart the lions before they darted the rhinos?

[@WildlifeObsessed]

Hung Nguyen - because they did not need to be watching 4 different animals at once. Focus on the one needing Veterinary Treatment and leave the rest alone - well out of harms way (& away from the Vet Team).

[@gwagon4188]

Conservation...

[@wassapdood1445]

That's the least they can do after shooting it

[@catherinemuthuuri5692]

That’s a baby rhino.

[@catherinemuthuuri5692]

+ a rhino can kill a lion.

[@arhagamer2510]

Didn't need saving but thes idiots shot him with tranqualiser

[@LuisOrtega-ly8eg]

Why don’t put all the video??

[@banadircafe]

3:30 criminal pilot killed rhino

[@ed2kou1]

BANADIR CAFE you can clearly see the dart, those are the vets

[@banadircafe]

3;30 That’s not darted It’s shotgun Watch again the smoke

[@ed2kou1]
