Our COMICs

We’ve made two comics to date with plans for more to come. The first, “SuperScientists Dig In!”, is our fictional story of how the SuperScientists came to be. It is now an animation short film and we are working to develop an animation series. The second, “Rhino Ops”, is based on a short film that NEWF (Nature Environment Wildlife Filmmakers) co-developed that tells the story of the team at Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park and their successful efforts to dehorn the rhinos.
