Ferrying around a pair of one-tonne rhinos is definitely no easy job.

But, as part of a crucial breeding programme for the critically endangered species, keepers at Howletts and Port Lympne wild animal parks had to flex their muscles.

The transfer between both parks resulted in male black rhinos Kasungu and Sammy swapping homes.

The weighty job saw the animals be individually locked into caged containers and then lifted onto a trailer by a large forklift truck.

They then each arrived at their new surroundings following an 18-mile trip in the back of a lorry.

Both have now been let loose into their unfamiliar enclosures, with Kasungu now at Port Lympne and Sammy at Howletts.
