Lara Logan of 60 Minutes travels to her native South Africa to report on the conservation effort to protect rhino from poachers. According to Logan’s report, three rhino a day are disappearing in the African country. Their horns are being ground into a powder for folk medicine used in countries like China and Vietnam.
Logan interviews a gamekeeper named Karen at a rhino orphanage. Karen took in surviving baby rhino after another rhino orphanage was attacked by poachers. (The attack is why Karen is wearing a pistol on her hip.) During the interview, while the two women are sitting together on a giant tractor tire, Logan mentions how lovely it is to be so close to rhino. And then as if on cue a 400-lb. rhino baby “lightens up their conversation” by nuzzling his horn under the gamekeeper’s leg which causes her to fall back. Logan is there to help her sit back up. “He’s so naughty. And he’s very strong,” says Logan. Karen agrees with a laugh, “He’s very strong.” 60 Minutes airs Sundays at 7pm on CBS.
