Rhino with majestic horn

We had parked our 4x4 near a water hole to observe the behavior of all the animals willing to quench their thirst.
There were mainly antelopes and wildebeests. But all of a sudden a massive black rhino made its way with a determined step towards the water hole. The black rhino had an attitude that left no doubt: it wanted a large part of the place and none of the other animals were welcome.
When you look at the photo you can see how uncommon thinos are with the two horns. It's as if they were directly coming from the dinosaurs era.
Unfortunately rhinos are victims of the stupidity of some people who are ready to exterminate this fascinating animal for the sake of alleged aphrodisiac vertue.
