Sumatran Rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis)

[guppiecat]

Another photo of the Sumatran rhino. There will several of these, as this is probably the only I will ever see in my life.

Rhinoceroses are territorial creatures. As I was taking photos, he chose to mark a tree several times. One time, when I suspect he was growing tired of the attention, he chose to mark me as well.

I mostly avoided the spray.

Still, it was worth it.

The intimate gaze of the rhino. And not just the gaze....

He was probably sick of balancing that leafy treat on his nose.

I don't think I've mentioned that I feel your photography (and commentary) make the world a better, more interesting, place. But I do.
