Diceros bicornis
Generally darker than the white rhino, but the best way to tell them apart is the mouth. White rhinos have a very wide snout, and black rhinos have a very narrow snout. There are less than 5,000 black rhinos left in the wild, I feel so lucky to have gotten to see one!
Far off the road past a dense thicket of trees. Was hanging out with zebras.

Few and far between the Black Rhino is... but here you capture the silhouette brilliantly! Thank you for adding it to the Rhinos of the World mission Ashley!
Really nice series Ashley :) Got love seeing an Endangered species.
Thanks for bringing the African Mammals in the Wild mission to my attention! Adding mine now!
Thanks Antonio, Tom, and Arya. Yes, it was amazing to see a wild one since I know by the time I go back they probably won't be there
Agreed with Tom. There is a lot of attention around that reserve that is auctioning off a chance to kill a Black Rhino for charity... Seeing one wild and free is a big treat!
Congrats Ashley, not many people will ever see a Black Rhino!
