Baby Rhinos are very playful little creatures. It is a joy to watch them running up and down while their mums are steadily feeding on plant material (Grass for White Rhinos and tree material for Black Rhinos).

And if the mother is relaxed about game drive vehicles then her offspring has usually no problem being close to the car either. This little boy was a real poser in the low afternoon sun. This is my favorite picture taken during last night’s drive!

… are not a Rhino fashion statement. These small triangle cut-outs on the ears were made by our wildlife department. Every Rhino on the reserve features a different notch pattern and is therefore easily identifiable from a distance. This helps Thanda Safari’s Monitors (= wildlife team members dedicated to tracking endangered species) to perform their task of keeping track of these endangered and prosecuted creatures. All our guides assist them by reporting any Rhino sightings to the monitors.

Nowadays most people expect and prefer social media reels with videos, image slide shows, and matching music. But quite a few of my followers have asked me to post pictures beside the reels. And as much as I enjoy creating reels I am still a picture photographer at heart. So, from today I will again also post pictures, even if they do not get as many hits and likes as the reels. I will enjoy doing so and I hope you will enjoy looking at them.

Today’s first picture is of a White Rhino enjoying the fresh grass emerging from a recently burned area.
