I had the privilege of accompanying Sue Downie (Black Rhino Monitoring Project), Dr Pete Morkel (Co-ordinator of Rhino Projects, Frankfurt Zoological Society) and the SANParks veterinary team to Karoo National Park to assist in their quest to improve the eating capabilities of Mpumalele, a +/-28 year old black rhino. Nose to hook lip with this incredible beast, I was able to file the buccal (outside) and palatal (inside) eges on the maxillary (upper) molars, and the lingual (inside) edges on the mandibular (lower) molars.
