White Rhino

Ceratotherium simum

Description:

One early morning drive, we woke up a group of White Rhino's sleeping. It never occurred to me that they too, sleep. It is so cute how they try to curl up their big bodies. I cant help but wonder, am I one of the last to see so many still together? Since my visit to the Kruger Nov 2011 more than 220 have been murdered for their horn.

Habitat:

African Bush

Notes:

It was like one rhino kept watch while the other slept. Wonderful to see! Location deliberately wrong to prevent poaching

Hi Smith,This news is really shocking. The statistics in your blog post is alarming. I didn't know today was World Rhino Day.
Happy World Rhino Day to you too, hope the conditions will become better than worse in the coming years.
