Today is World Rhino Day. The ongoing war against rhino poaching still features in the headlines all over the world and unfortunately it is seldom good news. As the numbers continue to dwindle sightings of these enigmatic creatures in our wild places are getting ever more scarce. That’s probably the reason why this wonderful encounter we had with a White Rhino bull in the Manyeleti Nature Reserve when we visited earlier in September is so precious and memorable.

Dit is so ‘n pragtige dier … en tog so hartseer dat daar so jag gemaak word op hulle. Ek’s mal oor jou S&W foto 🌟.
Dankie, Corna! Elke keer wat ons van hulle sien kan ek nie wonder of dit dalk die laaste keer gaan wees nie.
These ones look as though their horns are growing after having been cut.
I’m sure you are correct, Anne. Sad the lengths “the good guys” have to go to to protect these precious creatures.
Sjoe dis ‘n mooi raakskoot foto. Hul bly tog ook maar besonderse diere.
Baie dankie, Ineke. Ons stem geheel en al met jou saam. Ek is oud genoeg om te onthou toe renosters nog selde gesien is en nou is ons weer vinnig oppad soontoe. Hoe hartseer.
Dit het op ‘stadium tog beter gegaan met bewaring. Regtig sleg dat hul nou weer besig is om so vinnig te verdwyn. Alles deur menslike toedoen.
Magnificent although not in any way handsome. 😉. Les Bleus and the Boks are rolling!
Maybe your bar is just set too high, Janet! I’d bet he turns more than a few heads of lady rhinos!
😀
Big match for SA tomorrow versus Ireland. Oh, our nerves!
