Geza, “The naughty one”, was named this by his caretakers, due to his playful nature as a calf. But, at the age of five, his life was tragically and cruelly cut short by poachers. Geza was born in January 2006 on Amakhala Game Reserve and was moved to Kariega Game reserve when he was three years old. On Thursday 10 February he was darted by poachers and his horn removed. The distressed Geza was found the next morning and had to be put down. He is one of the many rhinos that have suffered this fate in South Africa.

Geza was bon on Amakhala Game Reserve in January 2006. Here he's only a few days old.
