Vets are battling to save two rhino that had their horns cut off by poachers at the Aquila Game Reserve in the Karoo.

The Western Cape reserve is home to six endangered white rhino.

On Saturday morning, two of the animals were found in the park, one with its horn completely severed off. The others rhino’s horn was partially cut.

Aquila Game Reserve owner Searl Derman said vets are currently treating the animals.

“One of our rhino has been poached, it’s still alive. We’ve got vets flying in…,” he said.

Derman said the poachers were interrupted but managed to flee with one horn.

In 2011, over 260 rhino have been killed in South Africa.
