[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Yesterday I photographed this rhino at the Johannesburg Zoo while he was taking his Sunday afternoon nap.

This a white or square-lipped rhino. It is one of two rhino species in Africa. The rhinoceros is a large, primitive looking mammal that in fact dates from the Miocene era millions of years ago. In recent decades rhinos have been relentlessly hunted to the point of near extinction. Since 1970 the world rhino population has declined by 90 percent, with five species remaining in the world today, all of which are endangered.

Bonjour,
C'est le repos du guerrier.

Hi Anton,
An excellent shot with good POV and sharpness.And good note too. As far as decline in population is concerned it is the same case with Indian one horned rhino.The demand for rhino and tiger parts in China and Tibet has pushed these animals almost to extinction.

Hi Anton,
Powerful animal very well captured. Pov, color, pose and sharpness make it a big shot for this majestic animal. Unfortunately, another kind of real shots were made with bullet from human species.
