Big herbivores!

[Spalea]

""The name rhinoceros means ‘nose horn’. It comes from the Ancient Greek words: rhino (nose), ceros (horn).


White and black rhinos are actually the same colour. Despite the names, both species of African rhino have a grey skin colour. The main difference between them is their upper lip: the black rhino’s top lips is hooked, whereas the white rhino has a square lip."

Rhinos are one of the world's many incredible and unique species.

Take a look at our article, Everything you need to know about rhinos, by Cathy Dean, Director of @savetherhinointernational

New Big 5 project website – link in Bio.


The New Big 5 project is an international initiative to create a New Big 5 of Wildlife Photography: the Big 5 of photography, rather than hunting. Shooting with a camera, not a gun.⁠
⁠
Supported by +150 photographers, conservationists and wildlife lovers, including including Art Wolfe, Paul Hilton, Will Burrard-Lucas, Gurcharan Roopra, Jonathan Scott, Angela Scott, Piper Mackay, Marlon du Toit, Shivang Mehta, Usha Harish, Staffan Widstrand, Sergio Pitamitz, Pedro Jarque Krebs, Jen Guyton, Chris Packham, Joel Sartore, Rodney Nombekana, Sandesh Kadur, Carole Deschuymere and more… ⁠
⁠
VOTE (on the New Big 5 website) for the 5 animals you want to be included in the New Big 5 of Wildlife Photography.⁠
⁠
The old big 5 was based on the 5 toughest animals in Africa for colonial hunters to shoot and kill. The New Big 5 of wildlife photography will include animals from around the world. ⁠

The goal of the project is to raise awareness and money for wildlife causes. The world’s wildlife is in crisis. More than a million species are at risk of extinction, from iconic giants to little known species, each too valuable to lose.

Change is possible.  "
