The Dingo family take wildlife conservation seriously. Recently they were joined by Springbok Rugby Player Ross Cronje to help save a poached Rhino.
The Dingo Family are passionate about wildlife. They started a YouTube channel to help educate the public about dangerous wildlife and how to protect them.
Recently the family invited Springbok and Lions rugby player, Ross Cronje to join them at an undisclosed location where they witnessed and assisted an incredible veterinary team. The team were there to operate on a rhino that had its horn poached in 2010.
“We love wildlife, all areas of it. From deadly animals to the cuddly ones, we are passionate about them all. Steve Irwin once said, “If you can’t excite people about wildlife, how can you convince them to love, cherish, and protect our wildlife and the environment they live in.” We are hoping to excite each person who views our videos and hopefully help inspire a deep love in their hearts for our wildlife.”
“We have so many feared species in our beautiful world and you won’t protect something you don’t love or fear. Education is key to the success of our videos and so we do hope you find our episodes exciting, educational and entertaining. Together we can save our wildlife and ensure the next generations to come get to enjoy all the wildlife we so freely enjoy today.”
The family and Ross Cronje joined the ‘Saving the Survivors’ team where they helped Thembi the Rhino after her horrific poaching in 2010. Thembi survived her attack but spent years with her injuries because the attack went unreported. A team of vets heard about her and jumped into action.
They started her reconstructive surgery by using elephant skin and patched up her nose. That surgery took place in November 2017 and then the next step to her recovery was another surgery. The surgery seen in the video below was a more permanent solution.
You can watch the video below to see how the surgery goes. It is incredible to see people fighting so hard to save the Rhino population.
Please be warned that some of the footage in the video may be distressing to sensitive viewers.
