I love this because it actually shows the animal in the wild and your closeness to it. Awesome.

It was very impressive in person. He really minded his own business as he just lumbered along.

An awesome insight into Safari adventure in Africa....well done

Thank you!

Beautiful. I feel sorry for these giants that are so persecuted by mankind.

Thank you! I feel sorry for a lot of animals that are treated poorly by man. The Rhinos have it worse than the Elephants. They were telling us that the Rhinos could be extinct in 10 years and the Elephants would be next. That would be a tremendous crime!

he looks unconcerned and at ease

He was very at ease Linda but he did an interesting thing. Every time we backed our vehicle further away from him, he would come and stop in the exact location we were parked before. The safari guide said this was his way of letting us know he is in charge. Unbelievable animal to see in the wild!
