Often poached animals are chosen due to larger size, this could include tusks (elephants) horns (rhinos) and skins (leopards/tigers). The removal of older, territorial individuals can give way to new males having mating success. This will help maintain genetic diversity. Another point is that it can feed locals (poaching for food) and provide wealth for locals (sales of tusks in Dem. Rep. of Congo to China)
