I learned that
poachers poison vultures, because they don't want the farmers to know that a
rhino was poached. The farmers would
know because the vultures would be flying over the rhino carcass.

I learned that
people think that rhino horn can be used in medicines. In Vietnam, ENV (Education for NatureVietnam) educates people that rhino horn is the same stuff that your
fingernails are made of. So it doesn't
cure anything.
Some people
think that the rhino's horn grows back.
But really, the rhinos are killed, and then the horn is taken off.
