Forest guards stumbled across the carcase of a freshly-killed rhino. Poachers had hacked off the head and removed all the toenails. The decapitated rhino was found on a logging road in the Silabukhan Forest Reserve near Lahad Datu in Sabah. It is believed that the poachers snared the animal with a nylon rope and dragged it several hundred feet to the roadside.
