This baby rhino just flopped down in front of us at the zoo. Couldn’t resist capturing his tiredness.

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.

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

You do not want to see what this pachyderm has in his trunk!
This female black rhino was shot in the Masai Mara in Kenya. / Canon 400d / Canon 100-400mm / ISO 100 / 1/13th Sec / F5.6 / 400mm focal length Taken using a panning technique which involved following the rhino in the view finder and using a slow shutter speed to blur the background.
A pair of Black Rhinos. Like all Rhino species, the Black Rhinoceros is critically endangered mainly because of poaching. It is well known that Rhino Horn is highly prized in the Orient as an aphrodisiac. Another less publicized problem is that Rhino Horn is used to fashion dagger handles for wealthy men in Yemen, just across the Red Sea from East Africa.
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. Canon D60 with Canon 300mm 2.8L IS with x2 extender; ISO 200 f5.6 1/1500 Formatted to a square crop using the full height of the original frame. Number of views as of 10 November 2009 – 549
stone age bunny on a rhino :)
Up close and personal with this big fella in South Africa.
Slowride. Take it easy.
I did this pencil sketch of a mother white rhino and her calf after a photographic trip to a reserve in South Africa. The game guard was kind enough to drive around to give me better angles for the light and shadow. I did an acrylic painting from this sketch, but the sketch has always had a charm for me, that I was never quite able to capture in the finished painting. I added the sepia effect later which somehow recreates a feeling of my youth in the bush of Africa better. I guess I am a little like an ageing newspaper now :) I never did find out how her ear got torn, but I like to think it was in brave defence of her baby.
