White Rhino
Came across this guy the other day - and his resident Oxpeckers!
He was not too relaxed (hence the low angle) everytime I started looking like I might be a human he got agitated, so spent most of the time trying to look like a termite mound!

Thanks, guys.
Dawn, no stroking, I think you might be a kebab before that happened!

Love that - "came across this guy"
We come across spiders, bumble bees, cats and you come across rhinos!

Both photos need a brightness/contrast adjustment. There's no "pop/snap" to them. I made the adjustments and there's a dramatic difference. Nice composition of both photos.

Thanks Bob, feedback much appreciated. Can I ask how you adjusted them - increased the contrast and decreased the brightness, or vica versa?
