Mammals of Lake Nakuru National Park
Black Rhino Portrait

I found this black rhino close to Lanet Gate, as I was exiting the park. Although he could not see us, the rhino heard us and made several moves in our direction, which can be quite intimidating. I switched off the engine and remained quiet in the car. On the picture, you can clearly see the prehensile lip which helps the rhino feed on leaves and branches.
