Black Rhino

The sighting of these two rhino made our trip well worth it! These magnificent beasts are being illegally poached. At the rate they are being poached they will soon become extinct. It is very unusual to find two black rhino together as they are solitary animals. We decided that these two are either a mother and her sub adult youngster or they are a breeding pair.

So good to see them in real life, hey ally?! Magical creatures soon to be no more, thanks to the greed of men :P

They look a lot happier than the ones at the zoo. Great capture - they are so interesting to look at.

Great capture, Sally. So sad the way they are being poached. Those teeny eyes always surprise me!

@ribbet9 they were about to cross the road as we came round the corner so they were rather close by indeed!

[Eric di Bosco]

WOW, what a great find! So magnificent, although they are downright mean and dangerous...quite different from their cow-like square lipped cousins!

[Sally Ings]

@ericdibosco these two were definitely giving us the serious eye. You certainly don't want to mess with them! Finding these guys was really the highlight of the weekend plus we had a second sighting of them in the afternoon! Both times we were the only vehicle around.
