The South African Rhino Auction in the Name of Conservation Video

Shopping for Rhinos (Aug 1996)
Deep in the parkland of Kwazulu Natal, South Africa, an extraordinary auction is about to take place. The Umfolozi-Lhulhuwe Park combines conservation with commerce. To raise funds, it farms out rhinos, giraffes and deer to zoos and parks from all over the world.

Out in the tawny grassland, a vet and team of wardens are hunting down a white rhino with tranquillizer guns. Once stunned, their muscular victim lies unconscious with its hooves trembling. A helicopter hovers above, ready to hoist the rhino - wrapped in a cargo net - to the auction. In a stripy marquee, the feverish bidding begins. Tense faces listen to the auctioneer's babble as six black rhinos are sold for $300,000. Inevitably some of the animals are sold to Safari hunters. Park authorities maintain that profit raised for conservation justifies game hunting. A wildlife report which highlights the commercial realities of conservation.

About the Site 🌐

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥

Origins of the Idea 🌱

The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠

Challenges Faced 🤔

Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.

Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍

Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️

The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.

About YouTube 📺

Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.

While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
