Sad and tragic indeed!...similar disgrace in the case of shark finning!
ChrisP, it is horrible how greed is leading to the deaths of these beautiful animals (and many more). It makes zoos, which are certainly less than ideal, seem like the best and safest place for the earth's megafauna. Sadly.
Here in Southern Africa they are being poached to extinction by stupidity and greed!
Thanks JenniferRoge! Here's my other Rhino mother and child: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/14529064
Thanks Smith's Zoo; I've made the changes to this spotting.
How lovely Ava! I'm convinced it is the White Rhino (the square mouth of baby in pic 2 and mom in pic 5) :) what a beautiful series of "mother and child". Thanks Ava!
these are beautiful photographs, Ava!!
