These incredible photos show the moment a fearless rhino wrangler tamed an injured animal to give it a full 'health MOT' - by grabbing it by the tail.
Pictures show the dangerous mammal being located, before a vet fires a tranquiliser dart to anaesthetise it, while a team member guides it to the ground by holding it by the tail.
The injured rhino was tracked down by a conservation team using a helicopter on the Eastern Cape of South Africa.

Once safely unconscious the team set to work on inserting a small microchip
Once safely unconscious, the team can be seen hastily getting to work, giving the animal a once over before dressing a suspected gunshot wound and inserting a small tracking microchip into its horn.
The photos were captured by professional photographer Rainer Schimpf, 51.
He said: 'The microchip in the horn lasts for only a certain amount of time so it has to be replaced once a year.
Vets are working hard to keep the animal safe. Since 2008, rhino poaching in South Africa has skyrocketed year on year, culminating in a total of 448 rhinos killed in 2011
Rhino deaths in South Africa continue apace despite the government responses to combat poaching. Which is why the vets use microchips to track their whereabouts
Ready to go, once the rhino had its health check the vets got the animal back on its feet
'If poaching takes place then one can trace where the horn is going and who the parties are who have conducted those crimes.'
'The whole process took about 45 minutes.'
The rhino, which lives at an undisclosed location on the Eastern Cape, was shot with a tranquiliser dart.
The rhino had to be treated for several injuries when it was located by vets

Rainer added: 'It's quite sad that about 2,000 rhinos are poached a year.
'The price of a rhino is equivalent to the gold price so the value of the rhino horn pictured would have been up to $50,000 USD (£38,000).'
Wild and free: once vets had treated the rhino it was free to roam once more

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
