Bonus pic for today! White Rhino

Bonus pic for today! I promise that no little old ladies (or Rhinos) were harmed in the making of this photo 🙂 The lady is actually much closer to me than she is to the White Rhinoceros at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in Uganda. It happens that this is the only shot I have of an adult Rhino with its head up. At Ziwa the business of Rhinos is eating and groaning and reproducing…with time out for raising young. That’s all they have to do, as they are guarded day and night by armed rangers. So in most photos the Rhinos are very busy with their heads down grazing in the tall grass. 🙂 Such is life in the protected species lane. Ziwa now has 30 of the 50 Rhinos that the Sanctuary can support, and they are looking forward to releasing their first White Rhinos back to the wild in just a few years.
