There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

RHINO

Very close to this massive hulk of a white rhino (~ 30 feet) from the savanna truck that my guide traveled us on. Looks completely full-grown, and was intently staring at the guide. Here is the beast (Rhino & Lion Game Park):

   

A little down the guide-track, we encountered this:

   

An adult rhino (gender unknown to me) with his/her juvenile offspring. One of the most pristine sights in the park: they were feeding on some grasses that were growing nearby. Right before that photo, the juvenile gave us a quick glance as if to state, "We are busy at the moment!"

An hour later, we visited the private owner's sanctuary, and saw this rhino:

   

It was unusually quite reddish in its hide color and didn't appear fully-grown, although, IMO, it is a white rhinoceros due to its massive shoulder hump.

Overall, the rhinos (together with the Bengal Tiger) were the favorites of my visitation to South Africa.
