[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this at the Burgers Zoo in Arnhem, where I captured this rhinoceros and it's reflection, while it was drinking.

Here's some rhinoceros facts from the internet:

Habitat: Savannahs, grasslands, and tropical and subtropical forests.
Size Smallest: The Sumatran rhinoceros reaches a shoulder height of about 1.4 m (4.6 ft) and weighs about 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs).
Largest: The white rhinoceros can reach a shoulder height of up to 4 m (13 ft) and weigh more than 2,500 kg (5,500 lbs).
Feeding Habits: Rhinoceroses are herbivores; they eat grass, succulent plants, and other vegetation.
Offspring: The female rhinoceros typically gives birth to one calf after a gestation period of 15 to 18 months. A calf tends to remain with the mother until the next calf is born, usually two years later.
Life Span: About 40 years in the wild.

A rhinoceros's horn grows throughout its life.

When they are threatened, rhinoceroses sometimes charge toward a distressing scent or sound.

Rhinoceroses have extremely poor vision, but an acute sense of smell.

Unlike other rhinoceroses, the Sumatran has a substantial amount of hair covering its skin.

Hi Nel, this Rhino is like Narciso, see itself reflecting in water with love, splendid composition with wonderful reflections, great colors and excellent sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Nel,

Echt mooi zijn de neushoorns niet, maar dat is ook wel vertederend als je ze bezig ziet.

Heel mooie opname met de reflectie zo.
Woensdag ga ik weer met de kleinkinderen naar de dierentuin - Ouwehand dus, lekker dichtbij.

Groetjes
Els
