Have only seen Black Rhino about twice in over 30 years of visiting Game and Nature reserves, this one from Addo in 2011. It was in a boisterous mood, and myself and another kept our distance.

Well as they say in the Navy, any port in the storm.

Thanks Tony. I'd like to take credit for envisioning the composition, and directing the elephants into place, but the photo-op was just there, and I just pressed the shutter release.

A fish - I think this is a puffer (AKA blow fish) of some kind, but I'd have to check my pictures of the identification signs to find out (deep in the other computer)

They are indeed a rare sight. I'm sure I've posted this image before, but I still can't believe our luck when we encoutered these mother and calf hook-lips on a walk in Kruger

We also encountered daddy hook-lip shortly thereafter, but he gave us no time to grab a picture before we fled (actually ran) to safer ground

So we had an exceptional photo-op with these three. I think the one lying down is an older calf still traveling with it's mother & much younger sibling.

You guys are making me envious, not to mention giving me itching feet! This the other sighting -PIlansberg National Park, and this one was in quite a placid mood.
