Original text on this topic:
The rhino invariably inhabited almost inaccessible mountainous areas and had to be immobilized by darting them from a helicopter. In order to minimise overstraining, one of the main objectives was to dart the rhino as soon as it was located. This was not always easy as the majority first had to be guided by the helicopter to more flat and accessible terrain before the darting commenced.
