Thanks for the comments and visits to the twin giraffes Tall double trouble:
The subtle play with capitals in the title of "Big ...C..." is to show support not only for those affected but also for those people trying to make a difference: visit this friend's forum thread.
These White Rhinos, (Ceratotherium simum) bull and cow (facing us) were photographed near where I live in Leeudoringstad (South Africa). The White Rhino is not named for the color of its skin but for the original Dutch word "wijd bek" (whide mouthed) rhinoceros. Another trait I share with them is poor eyesight. Ok, I quit the biology lesson, LOL! I hope you enjoy looking at the couple.

A prize capture. Beautiful. Aloha
Double WOW! What a scene you "catch"! Fantastic my friend! SUPERB!*****!
Beautiful photo of this gorgeous animals..Bravo and have a nice week :)
Ag nee, werk bietjie aan die kwaliteit van die foto ek kan nie eers die bosluise in die regter oorbak uitmaak nie. Met beter kwaliteit sal dit dalk makliker wees om te besluit of dit bontpote of gewone bosluise is. Nee man kry dit reg die volgende keer. Groete
Magnificen capture!. Awesome!!! Hugs. Delia
Great picture of nice rhinos.
Well, now I learned a bit about the white rhino. Great capture. Sure are BIG creatures. The world is full of beautiful animals. Thanks for visiting my gallery also. Much appreciated. Aloha
Marvelous picture of the White Rhino, such a powerful yet interesting beast and so clumsy. Don't want them charging me, where's some of those Mexican bull fighters now, hey, LOL. Look's like you have been playing around with your new Digital SLR, maybe next year a zoom lens...???
great shot... didn't have the chance to catch one with my cam when I visited your lovely country...way back
do not look George but we have a visitor!try to remain natural and please do not make any wide mouth faces!!excellent capture
Awesome, love it, bravo!
very good shot of these animals
OMG... don't get so close! Fabulous shot, again. :0)
wowww, very beautiful picture, I like this animal!!! Good day and hugs ;)
Excellent pose - you must tell me your secret. Animals always seem to look the other way when I pick up my camera. The only buck that I enjoy photographing is the waterbuck - then I know what it is and I can't miss. LOL These rhinos don't seem to know if they are coming or going. Excellent shot!
Such horny creatures.....LoL....:0)bonita
