In a bold new move to save its vulnerable rhino population, South Africa has begun injecting rhino horns with radioactive material, making them safer for rhinos and decidedly less fun for poachers—or anyone seeking a glow-in-the-dark desk ornament.
Officials say poachers hunting radioactively-enhanced rhinos could soon find themselves not just facing police, but also the X-Men recruitment squad. “These horns are now hotter than a Chernobyl sauna,” said Dr. Nhlanhla Mnguni, head of the Wildlife Protection League. “It’s one thing to smuggle rhino horns. It’s another to smuggle a DIY nightlight that also gets you flagged at airport security, customs, and possibly by NASA’s deep space sensors.”
The effort isn’t just about scaring away poachers, but also making rhino horn trade as unappealing as a mystery meat buffet. Horns can now be tracked with Geiger counters or, in emergencies, used to keep campers warm at night. Reports from inside poaching circles suggest panic is already spreading. “We were ready to risk everything,” said one anonymous poacher, “but we draw the line at growing a third eyebrow.”
Traditional medicine markets are also reeling, uncertain how to market “radioactive vigor powder” without admitting possible… side effects. “Increased energy, decreased poaching, and, maybe, a slight green afterglow in the dark. Is that so wrong?” said one alternative health shop owner, adding “And hey, you’ll never lose your rhino horn… you can see it from space!”
Critics worry about what’s next—injecting zebra stripes with magnets or arming elephants with pepper spray. But wildlife officials say desperate times call for glowing, slightly hazardous measures.
“If our rhinos are ever abducted by aliens,” explained Dr. Mnguni, “at least they’ll be easy to spot.”
