These Rhinoceros were photographed in Kruger National
Park, South Africa and you can see from the second shot that they were quite a
distance away and sleeping so these images are heavily cropped.
Can
you see what the difference is in these 2 images? (Above and below)
I am linking this post with SATURDAY CRITTERS and hope you enjoyed it.
Many thanks for your visit and also to all who leave comments.
Yes there is a goat in one and not in the other. The goat may be an antelope.
ReplyDeleteCorrect - Impala
DeleteLove the little intruder behind the sleepers. And love the rhinos too.
ReplyDeleteAnd there it was; a deer sneaking by.
ReplyDeleteNO not a Deer, An antelope - Impala
DeleteYa, a deer sneaking by behind the sleeping rhinos.
ReplyDeleteNO not a Deer, An antelope - Impala
DeleteVery impressive !
ReplyDeletelazy guys
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret, I love the rhinos. It is good to see some are still around, are they endangered? The Antelope is a great capture too. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteyes they are endangered due to still be poacched illegally.

living in the wild, free...it's always so nice to see!! beautiful images of these massive creatures!!! have a wonderful weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret great photos of the rhino. I love the images with the springbok in the background.
ReplyDeleteNO not a Springbok but, An antelope - Impala
DeleteI saw the critter behind those awesome rhinos, and thanks, Jo, for identifying it!
ReplyDelete~
NO not a Springbok,but An antelope - Impala
DeleteNotice how one is hogging the shade. The other is keeping a cool head, but the rest is in the sun. I think Jo is right--- it's a springbok, right?
ReplyDeleteNO not a Springbok, it is An antelope - Impala
DeleteBeautiful Rhinos, love them.
ReplyDeleteImpressive animals!
ReplyDeleteSuperb images Margaret. What a privilege to see.
ReplyDeleteRhino's are magnificent animals and your photos are superb.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, I'm not fooled. These aren't birds, and will never be able to fly. Good thing you were using a long lens as they can be unpredictable. I just hope they are well protected. A misconception has lead the species to the brink of extinction.
ReplyDeletethey look tired
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool thing to see! Good thing they were so far away - and that they were asleep.
ReplyDeleteAwesome to see them, even from a distance!
ReplyDeleteWow
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing pictures.It took me a few minutes,but I did find the difference.The Impala photo bombed your picture.
ReplyDeleteSuch amazing beasts these are Margaret! and what a privilege to see these animals out in their natural environment!
ReplyDeleteWau.. Looks exciting.
ReplyDeleteI think they are white rhino, but it's hard to tell? We have been involved in a Black Rhino conservation project in Zimbabwe for 25 years now, so I always appreciate seeing rhino in the wild, along with the Impala tiptoeing through behind! Great photos
ReplyDeleteWren x
these rhinos are really big ones. Great sightings :)
ReplyDeleteSuper photographs, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Margaret, what a great experience - photographing African animals.
ReplyDeleteI spotted the Impala.
I work with three South Africans and have been well schooled on the Antelope family.
I would love to visit one day, it's a special place, like nowhere else.
I don't like zoos and the thought of animals out of their natural environment.

I love all these animals from around the world that you share with us! I'm certain it's best to see the rhinos from a distance.
