(Reuters file photo)NAIROBI, Kenya: A rhino turned the tables on a suspected poacher in Namibia, charging and injuring the man while he was allegedly tracking it. “The poacher, poached!” reads the caption. Rhino poaching has increased in recent years in Namibia, which has one of Africa's biggest populations of the critically endangered black rhino. Some consumers believe rhino horn can cure illnesses if ingested in powder form, although there is no evidence that the horn, made of the same substance as human fingernails, has any medicinal value. Rhino horn is also seen by some buyers as a symbol of status and wealth.
