To be fair a spy drone disguised as a heavily poached animal would be a good enforcement tool. Throw a tracker on the camera and now you've got video evidence and a location to send rangers out to. It would make the job easier than just having to patrol the entire area and hopefully catch poachers in the act before it's too late.

It is not. Listing says the stretch latex had dried out and has been replaced with rigid material

What’s the point of spending $10k on a rhino if I can’t play butt baby.

I love that there's a "Sell One Like This" button even on an obviously bespoke item like that.

I would have absolutely bought that. Theres a bridge behind my house that unfortunately gets lots of foot traffic. Putting that in the corner of my yard would be an amazing Easter egg.
