Thank you for adding your stunning pic to the Rhino mission Noah Citizen!

Ever wonder why rhinos seem to always be covered in mud? The seemingly thick armor that covers a rhino isn't actually thick at all. Rhino skin is incredibly soft and sensitive, especially to sunburn and insect bites — irritations which mud can help soothe.

Hi Smith's Zoo! I did add the White Rhino spotting to the "Rhino Horn is Not Medicine" mission, as requested. You're right to raise awareness on this issue: too many rhinos are still killed for their alleged curative horn.
