Sleeping Rhino.jpg

This rhino is about 25 years old, when he was young his parents were killed by poachers. He was take into captivity until he was big enough to look after himself. Shortly after release he was attacked and badly injured so this center here has kept him here since and he is very friendly. Had a hard time convincing Dawn to stand up close to him.This was at Sweetwaters at Mount Kenya.

I don't blame Dawn at all. He is big! Nice one, Peter.
