Available at my gallery / This artwork was featured by RB group: / Unconventional Artistry / This unique white rhino art is a digital mosaic where each “tile” or “stone” (tessera) appears to have a 3D look. This original artwork image appears to be a high quality photo of a complex and detailed mosaic. This artwork was an experiment for me, as I wanted to create a digital mosaic and use the various attributes of the tiles to highlight the three main surfaces and to give a 3D impression within the art not typically seen in mosaics. The arrangement of the apparent “stones” is such that they follow the contours of the resting rhino and lend a physical presence and strength to its appearance. As opposed to the other surfaces, the rhino has more dimension. The tiles that represent the sunlit dappled ground are longer & mainly horizontal to reinforce the flatness of the earth and display some of its small undulations. The background is a mass of multi-colored darks, mainly deep greenish hues, that represent the tangled vegetation that lie beyond this glorious animal. Each section of the art was therefore created a little differently, to give each its own look. A small highlight on the tiles comes from the upper left of the image, similar to the direction from which the sunlight strikes the rhinocerous. The 3D look of each tile is more apparent in a larger version of the artwork. I would call the experiment a definite success!

This was taken at a zoo. It broke my heart to see how sad this poor rhino looked.

Taken in South Africa. This is a close up of a rhino’s eye. Very endangered species as poaching for rhino horn is still in high demand in the black market. Rhino horn though is made up of the same stuff (keratin) as our hair, fingernails and turtle shells.

The Missing Remaining White Rhinos / The White Rhino is believed to be on the brink of extinction. In April 2003 there were 30 rhinos. In 2006 there were only 4 confirmed animals but worryingly, recent fieldwork in 2008 has so far failed to find any presence of these four remaining White Rhinos. Could it be they are disguising themselves as common Zebra to avoid poachers? On the face of it a humorous image but in reality, another depressing effect man has had on the natural world. This t-shirt has been designed to be printed black on black, so be brave and choose the black tee option, it will print like this: / /

Rhinocerous viper ~ Bitis nasicornis Kingdom: Animalia / Phylum: Chordata / Subphylum: Vertebrata / Class: Reptilia / Order: Squamata / Suborder: Serpentes / Family: Viperidae / Subfamily: Viperinae / Genus: Bitis / Species: B. nasicornis / / Large and stout, ranging in length from 72 cm to 107 cm. Females become larger than males. / / B. nasicornis, adult.The head is narrow, flat, triangular and relatively small compared to the rest of the body. The neck is thin. They have a distinctive set of 2-3 horn-like scales on the end of their nose, the front pair of which may be quite long. The eyes are small and set well forward. The fangs are not large: rarely more than 1.5 cm in length. Midbody there are 31-43 dorsal scale rows. These are so rough and heavily keeled that they sometimes inflict cuts on handlers when the snake struggles. There are 117-140 ventral scales and the anal scale is single. The color pattern consists of a series of 15-18 blue or blue-green oblong markings, each with a lemon-yellow line down the center. These are enclosed within irregular black rhombic blotches. A series of dark crimson triangles run down the flanks, narrowly bordered with green or blue. Many of the lateral scales have white tips, giving the snake a velvety appearance. The top of the head is blue or green, overlaid with a distinct black arrow mark. The belly is dull green to dirty white, strongly marbled and blotched in black and gray. Western specimens are more blue, while those from the east are more green. After they shed their skin, the bright colors fade quickly as silt from their generally moist habitat accumulates on the rough scales. Primarily nocturnal, they hide during the day in leaf litter, in holes, around fallen trees or tangled roots of forest trees. Their vivid coloration actually gives them excellent camouflage in the dappled light conditions of the forest floor, making them almost invisible. Although mainly terrestrial, they are also known to climb into trees and thickets where they have been found up to 3 m above the ground. This climbing behavior is aided by a tail that is prehensile to a certain extent. They are sometimes found in shallow pools and have been described as powerful swimmers. / / B. nasicornis, juvenile.They are slow moving, but capable of striking quickly, forwards or sideways, without coiling first or giving a warning. Holding them by the tail is not safe; as it is somewhat prehensile, they can use it to fling themselves upwards and strike. They have been described as generally placid creatures; less so than B. gabonica, but not as bad-tempered as B. arietans. When approached, they often reveal their presence by hissing. Said to produce the loudest hiss of any African snake—almost a shriek.

Rhino
by missdelishFor some reason, this image makes me sad…...At the back of him was another rhino so he wasn’t lonely, maybe all the big fat jokes are finally getting to him? If you would like the border around the image black (or even another colour) then please let me know, and I’ll upload one straight away. (Just so you know, I didn’t make any big fat jokes…..I told him he was beautiful)
