| White Rhino |
|
|
| White Rhino's are the biggest of the two rhino species, overweighting the black rhino by a few hundred kilograms, the sure way to tell these two species apart is their lips, the white rhino having a square mouth and the black rhino having a more curvaceous pointed mouth. |

Isn't the difference in lips due to one being a grazer and the other chiefly eating leaves off trees?
Was there some sort of fence in between you (possibly made of steel or concrete)? I don't know that I would hang around a rhino to get a picture otherwise. |

julianne, you might fust be right on this one, i'm using reference to my school biology days, and that was quite some time ago, so i might be wrong, and yes, i was at a game reserve this weekend, and this shot was through a fence, and this wasn't too close. Thanks guys for the E.P  |
