Description

These are 2 Southern White Rhinos resting after a hot day. It reminds me of how brutal poaching has been to those magnificent creatures. The southern white rhinoceros is one of largest and heaviest land animals in the world. Most adult bulls do not share territory which makes me believe at least one of the Rhinos on this picture is a female. The white rhino is particularly vulnerable to poaching because it is relatively unaggressive and lives in herds.On this picture I was able to capture the sadness on their eyes, a reminder of the constant treat these animals face in the wild.
