Perfect capture of this huge animal. Lighting is always difficult on them and you got it perfect here. Kind regards. MarieRobert L. Roux 16/09/2005 17:25

Brilliant shot of this youngish Rhino.If you look to the left of it up in the trees, you will see hanging funell nests.
They are of the yellow weaver birds, commonly known as Finks.
They build there nest in this manner, to stop snakes taking the eggs or chicks and build them over water, usually.
Humbe Gothle my friends and return safely!!
Umchana.
