Black Rhinoceros

Diceros bicornis

Notes:

Just part of a wall lined with black rhinoceros skulls collected from the field by members of Save The Rhino Trust (http://savetherhinotrust.org/). Some of the individuals died of natural causes, but some of these individuals were poached for just their horns.
