Female members of the anti-poaching team "Black Mamba" perform a routine patrol through a wildlife reserve on September 25, 2016 in the Limpopo province of South Africa.
South Africa's all-female "Black Mambas" anti-poaching team had never lost a rhino since they were formed in 2013, but the killing of two animals earlier this month shattered their proud record. The two rhinos, one of which was pregnant, were shot dead and their horns hacked off by poachers on a full moon night, underlining the crisis that threatens the species.
