Also known as the Square- lipped Rhino due to it’s wide mouth. The name White Rhino arose from a misinterpretation by early English settlers of the Afrikaans word “wyd”, (derived from the Dutch word “wijd”), which means “wide”. / There are 2 subspecies of White Rhino, the Southern White, (as seen in this image), also the most prolific of the two subspecies, and the Northern White, which is critically endangered & thought to number only 13 individuals world wide. / Monarto Zoological Conservation Park – Adelaide.

10×14 watercolor enhanced colored pencil. Original unavailable. For most of the 20th century the continental black rhino was the most numerous of all rhino species. Around 1900 there were probably several hundred thousand living in Africa. During the later half of the 20th century their number severely reduced from an estimated 70,000 in the late 1960s to only 10,000 to 15,000 in 1981. In the early 1990s the number dipped below 2500, and in 2004 it was reported that only 2,410 black rhinos remained. According to the International Rhino Foundation, the total African population has since then slightly recovered to 3,610 by 2003. According to a July 2006 report by the World Conservation Union, a recent survey of the West African Black Rhino, which once ranged across the savannahs of western Africa but had dropped to just 10, concluded the subspecies to be extinct. The northern white is soon to join the western black rhino on the extinction list as its last noted numbers were as few as 4. The only rhino that has recovered somewhat from the brink of extinction is the southern white whose numbers now are estimated around 14,500, up from fewer than 50 in the first decade of the 20th Century. The Black Rhinoceros has been pushed to the brink of extinction by illegal poaching for their horn and by loss of habitat. The horn is used in traditional Chinese medicine, and is said by herbalists to be able to revive comatose patients, cure fevers and aid male sexual stamina and fertility. The purported effectiveness of the use of rhino horn in treating any illness has not been confirmed by medical science. In June of 2007, the first-ever documented case of the medicinal sale of black rhino horn in the United States (confirmed by genetic testing of the confiscated horn) occurred at a Traditional Chinese Medicine supply store in Portland, Oregon’s Chinatown. It is used in the Middle East to make ornately carved handles for ceremonial daggers called jambiyas. Demand for these exploded in the 1970s causing the Black Rhinoceros population to decline 96% between 1970 and 1992. To say that this was time consuming would be an understatement. The wrinkles were enough to almost drive me batty.. but I managed to finish this one.. on to the elephant!! Complete 2008

Time to reverse I think…... (taken at Luthuli Game Reserve, South Africa). / One of the most distinguishing differences between the white and the black rhino is the shape of the mouth. The white rhino is a grazer and has a square mouth while the black rhino is a browser and has a hooked lip. / / Black rhino

After two days of tracking in searing heat in Luthuli game reserve, South Africa last weekend, we were rewarded with the briefest of sightings – no more than a glimpse -of the precious and extremely endangered black rhino.

All rhinos are endangered, so many having been massacred by poachers for their horns. Fortunately there are now many game parks in various African countries endeavouring to bring numbers back up to levels where the threat of extinction is diminished. These creatures are truly magnificent; primitive, primeaval, and with a rugged, powerful beauty. It is a privilege to be close to them, albeit from the security of a vehicle: they are not to be underestimated. This fellow is one of over 50 now roaming Lewa game park in Kenya. He caught the scent of an orange that one of our party had peeled and was desperately trying to find the source of the tantalising aroma. Fortunately for us, he lost the scent and finally wandered off.

We came across to female White Rhino with a calf at dusk one evening and followed them into the bush. One decided to mock-charge our vehicle. Ngala, Kruger National Park, South Africa.

This shot depicts a Indian Rhinoceros keeping himself cool in the Hot afternoon sun. This rhino is a major success of conservation. Only 100 remained in the early 1900s and now their population has increased but even so they are still endangered.

A picture I took in a Rhino sanctuary in the USA. Someday I plan to travel to Africa to photograph them in their native lands. – Dennis

Here is a different type B&W shot I took of a White Rhino (mostly Silhouette) some years ago, as he was heading towards me and the vehicle I was in. Found it going through my archives and thought it cool enough to post. – Dennis

This magnificent white rhino was one of several at Lewa game reserve near Mt. Kenya. In attendance is an oxpecker helping him to keep clear of ticks. The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a private reserve with an excellent breeding and care programme. Just looking at their website – www.lewa.org – I see they’ve just had two white rhino births (May09) – wonderful! Best views large. Canon D60 with Canon 300mm f2.8L IS lens; ISO200 f4 1/750

We found this White Rhino in the Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa. White Rhino get very close to vehicles which allow for great close ups. This guy must have had a dust bath earlier on which left great lines in his face.

White Rhino. We have the most amazing sightings of these guys. They sometimes graze almost next to the vehicle. Got this image as he looked up to see what we were. Taken in the Madikwe Game Reserve. Many different ways to photograph a rhino! :)
