The rhino poaching in South Africa's Kruger National Park has gotten so intense the national parks service has called on the army to help stop illegal ivory hunters. Over 300 rhinos were killed in South Africa last year. The death toll is the highest ever and three times the 2009 figure. Kruger lost 146 rhinos in 2010. The South African Defense Force is deployed along the Park's Zimbabwe and Mozambique border. The national defense minister said South Africa has "declared war with poachers in all of our parks".
