Dehorning a Rhinoceros Captivates at the Lion Zoo
A rhinoceros with a horn grown over its mouth is saved by a keeper who amputates the horn after weeks of gentle coaxing. The process uses patient handling, stoking the animal’s trust, and a staged approach from sawing motions to a final cut. In Texas, a woman dies fleeing a storm in Rio Vista, and a cyclone devastates Gribble Springs in Cooke county with multiple houses wrecked and two boys killed.
