Abstract
It is the dry season in the Kruger National Park. Rivers and drinking holes are drying up, the grass is gone, the veld is sandy and there are many dead trees, resulting in food for the herbivores of the Kruger National Park becoming scarcer by the day. It is not a pretty sight to see the Park in such a state, since the summer rains did not come. But then there are poachers who turn this picture into a nightmare as they do not hesitate to kill animals in the Kruger National Park, and the rhino is at the top of their list.
