THREE BLACK RHINOS.
Today, ranger Godson and his guests came across some three black rhinos on the edge of the sand river. It was a wet morning after the previous night’s rains and the rhinos were out of their usual hideout in the bush lands. They were a male and female with a calf of about five years of age which by now should have been independent for a new one to be born. This sighting is quite unusual as normally the black rhinos are solitary. The guests had a good view of these special animals as they walked in the open grasslands following each other while occasionally stopping to look around as their tails flap sideways to keep off flies.
