White Rhinos

Given the massive poaching problem affecting rhinos in Africa, it was a pleasant surprise to see so many of them during our trip last year. This pair was part of a foursome that rumbled right past our vehicle one morning. I don't think the oxpeckers enjoyed the disruption.

It looks like you are under attack! Amazing perspective... one I wouldn't chose (because of the yellow streak down my back). Thanks for posting it.

Neat to get 2 together like this Max, the oxpecker adds interest as well.

Hi Max,

Certainly up close and personal with these two! All techs look solid and I like the dynamic nature added by the uplifted front legs on both rhinos. I suppose a tad more space on the right wouldn't hurt, but the image is strong as posted.

Cheers...

Brad
