A mother rhino and her year-old offspring.
Coming in for a closer look.

Mother is alert for possible dangers, like veterinarians.
"That's close enough, lady. Back off."
"Yes, Ma'am!" (She actually came up to me and bumped my arm with the base of that horn. I backed up.)"Aw, shucks, Maw - I wanted to play with her!"
Who knew a rhino could sit like a dog?
Or, that they had such cool feet?
Or ears?

I thought watching a rhino take a mud bath was the best.
Until I saw one playing chasing games with her baby.

Nothing is cuter than a baby, especially a baby rhino.

Kathi: Great photos. Thanks for the memories. That was such a fun day. Su
What a fabulous experience! It's interesting seeing these animals whose home habitat is an arid savannah running around and taking mud baths with snow all around. I understand they don't see so well but the rhino's hearing and sense of smell are extremely acute.
Awwwww...some..
Thanks for coming back to inform and entertain us! You have been missed. I can't get enough of the rhino pictures, you captured so many aspects of such a unique animal.
Thanks for coming back. I have been a lurker for quite awhile. You were missed. Great pics!! Rhinos. Why not after birding!
Very cool! Looks like you had a great time! Rhino nuzzling was really cute.
