Rhino Skin

One thing about the white rhinos at the Kilimanjaro Safari, they can get awfully close. Here was a shot taken by friend of the blog and show Ellise (follow her on twitter @misselliemouse). She got this great up close shot of the white rhino.

It's so close you get a real nice look at the contours of the skin and just how small their eyes really are. Rhinos are actually nearly blind. The horns on the animal are impressive, too. She would, unfortunately be a prime poaching target is she lived in Africa.

Thanks again to Ellie for the great photo. She gave us more than handful of great safari shots, so you will see more in the future.

The Way A Rhino's Life Should Be

I just love this photo. With all of the talk in the news about the constant threat of poaching rhinos face in the wild, there really is nothing better then to see one at Disney's Animal Kingdom just relaxing and loving life. I just wish all White Rhinos could live the life this guy has.

But they can't. Instead they live under perpetual fear of extinction at the hands of human stupidity and greed. But we can help. Go to Save the Rhino and make a donation.
