Canon on Eye Level – Black Rhino!

This week, I saw a Black Rhino flehmen for the first time.

The bull picked up the scent of a female, stuck his nose into the soil where the cow had urinated, and then inhaled as much air as possible towards the Jacobson’s organ (vomeronasal organ) to analyze if the lady was in estrous.

Many mammals show this behaviour, but I had never seen a Black Rhino doing it. What a sighting!
