Define “extinct?”
The last of Uganda’s wild rhinos was killed in the early 1980s; the translocated animals come from a breeding program set up at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in 2005.
They were “extinct” in Uganda, not everywhere.
It’s mildly annoying that the media doesn’t seem to know the word “extirpated.”
TIL
I mean, even if they know it very few other people do so it wouldn’t really be a helpful headline that informs the public what the article is about…
I appreciate you teaching me a new word though :)
I feel the same way about words like leucocholy, but I’m forplaint with the ugsome trend of rising of anti-intellectualism in our world today and no longer see the appeal of logomachies.
Seriously, Fezzik moment here.
Corrected the title
