This female black rhino at Nairobi National Park in Kenya is of the same species that roams Kruger National Park in South Africa. (Sayyid Abdul Azim/AP)Five suspected poachers entered Kruger National Park in South Africa last week to kill rhinos living there, according to authorities. “Entering Kruger National Park illegally and on foot is not wise, it holds many dangers and this incident is evidence of that,” said Glenn Phillips, the park’s managing executive. The area, according to the Kruger National Park website, is known for its high concentration of lion prides. Save the Rhino reports that half of all poachings occur in Kruger National Park.
