Seahawks QB Russell Wilson tags rhinos in South Africa

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife, the singer Ciara Harris, have been spending their vacation in South Africa, and on Wednesday took part in a rhino microchipping trip outside Cape Town, in an effort to combat poaching.

The pair posted of their adventure on Instagram, dubbing the two rhinos they helped tag 'Princess' and 'Zahir', named after the couple's children.

"It's an important task because over 5,000+ Rhinos have been killed by poachers in the past 6 years. We all need to play a part in an effort to Save the Rhinos in Africa from being wiped off the earth," the athlete wrote.
