Diceros bicornis
A critically endangered mammal, the Black Rhinoceros has been almost completely wiped out. A browser, easily distinguished from the white Rhino by the narrow hooked lip
They prefer areas with brushy cover and plenty of vegetation
On an early morning game drive, we encountered this Blackie. We had visited Africa twice before and had not seen a Black Rhino. This time we were fortunate to see 6 on our trip. Quite a feat, as many African's can go a lifetime without seeing one.

Happy World Rhino Day Punkus! Thank you for joining the mission!
Beautiful indeed. You can't help but fall in love with a Rhino when you see it in the wild. You could add this pic to the "Rhino Horn in Not Medicine" mission if you like.
Thanks for sharing Punkus.
