The trouble with blogging is that it is a little like the geological process of subduction. Subduction is a tectonic mechanism that occurs when one plate forces another down into the mantle. Every poost I write sends another, older poost into the netherworld of my archives, to be unearthed only by googlologists searching for the most random, bizarre stuff ("never touch yellow snow morals"- how many more morals do you need? How about never eat yellow snow, either).
This poost will bury the rather important one I did on WildAid a couple of weeks ago. Most of my writing is just for fun, silly, maybe a little informative, but hardly world-shattering. But from time to time I do write more serious stuff, and the WildAid poost was an important one.
So, to keep the conservation fires stoked even a little bit, here is a recent article on rhino poaching. A quote:

"Six rhino carcasses have been found in the last two months, and more rhinos could have been slaughtered. Before the recent killings, the northern white rhino population was estimated to be only 30, despite four baby rhinos having been born in the last year. Unless urgent action is taken to combat the upsurge in poaching, conservationists say, the last wild population of northern white rhinos could be wiped out in six months. "

Once more, little cubs, what do we call poachers?

UPDATE: Just as the Wildaid poost got subducted into the poo mantle, the actual Outside article that inspired it is made available online for all to read. Call it a volcanic venting- flatulence from the mantle of poo.
My geology professors would be so proud to see how I am putting my education to use.
Anyways, here is some really cool line art and animation. The walking robot dog is especially great.
