I felt priviledged to be this close to this Southern White Rhinoceros ( Ceratotherium simumsimum ) at Werribee Open Range Zoo, Australia. I have cropped the image a little but did not use any zoom for the shot. How brave I was! Well, not really as I was safely viewing from a safari vehicle :)This Rhinoceros is predominantly found in South Africa. It is the largest of the five species of rhinoceros and is also known as the ‘square-lipped Rhinoceros’ because of its wide, straight upper lip that enables it to graze. Taken with Panasonic DMC-FZ7. Thanks for viewing. Your comments are always welcome and appreciated.
