Rhino Found Dead with Horn Removed Sparks Poaching Concerns

A distressing incident unfolded at Kaziranga National Park in Assam as a one-horned rhino was discovered dead with its horn removed, raising suspicions of poaching in the area. The carcass was found in the Burapahar range of the park, prompting immediate action from forest officials who arrived to retrieve the body for further investigation. While the exact cause of death remains unknown pending post-mortem examination, the absence of the horn strongly suggests poaching as the motive behind the killing. This tragic event adds to recent concerns over rhino conservation efforts, with another rhino carcass discovered earlier this month in a separate incident within the park.
