MAUN: Maun police in the northwest district are investigating an incident in which a rhino was found shot but with all its parts intact, including its horn.

Speaking to Mmegi's Naledi in an interview, Maun Police Superintendent John Kelebeng, said the rhino was found dead on September 8, at Kurunxaranga in the NG30 Wildlife Management Area.

He said it was shocking to find the animal in its intact state without any ‘valuable’ parts removed. He however, could not rule out poaching activity and urged members of the public to assist with the information that could lead to the arrest of the culprits.
