Flying as low as possible over a group of rhinos resting in the shade, a man leaning far out from a helicopter takes aim and fires. The man is a park ranger, and the gun is filled with a special drug to make the animals sleep. These white rhinos are being moved to a national park to save them from extinction and to protect them from their only enemy—man. By tracing the adventures of one white rhino in Uganda, Alice Hopf offers a dramatic glimpse of the life cycle of one of the largest land animals in the world. Kiyo Komoda's pictures bring the rhino and its world startlingly to life.
