Southern White Rhino “Ceratotherium simum simum”
♥️🦏
This Queen is going to be a mama again real soon
As I slowly approached her and her youngster, one could see and feel she is full of hormones “being a pregnant beast” this lady will be very protective over her young, non the less I took my time and respected the time with them so much
♥️🦏
It is already so super special to be able to see them out in the wild, with her previous offspring
♥️🦏
I always consider myself lucky & fortunate to find and see the magnificent creatures out in wild open spaces & to be able to spend time with them
♥️🦏
As you can see that their horns are shaved and it is indeed a bitter sweet happening because “only they need their horns and not us humans” they need their horns for all sorts of things and situations
♥️🦏
One of them is ,so that they can protect themselves in their natural habitats
♥️🦏
It is super sad that we have to interfere like this to be able to save the species … Somehow, somewhere we have to save them & May they be the ones that love on and live longer
♥️🦏🙏🏼
