This powerful and majestic Black Rhino (Diceros bicornis), one of Africa’s most iconic and critically endangered species. Instantly recognizable by its hooked upper lip, the black rhino is a browser, perfectly adapted to feed on shrubs and trees.
its tough exterior, the black rhino is incredibly vulnerable—facing threats from habitat loss and poaching, primarily driven by the illegal trade in rhino horn. These magnificent animals are known for their solitary nature, sharp senses, and unpredictable behavior. Seeing one quenching its thirst peacefully at a waterhole like this is a humbling reminder of why we must protect them. Every black rhino matters in the fight to keep their species alive, and this rhino stands as a testament to the raw, wild beauty that still exists—and must be preserved.
