Another member of the Big Five, the African Cape Buffalo. We were driving on one of the dirt roads when we ran across this guy. Probably passed another car every 10-15 minutes. Without cell reception one banks on the fact that Avis cars aren’t that old. Would hate to spend the night in our car.

This is a White Rhino. Not to be confused with a Black Rhino. Looks black to me but he isn’t. Big difference is white rhinos graze off the jungle floor and black rhinos (rare) eat bushes. They are one of the Big Five. We saw them all. I don’t think Teddy Roosevelt did that good.

I guess he was lucky to escape some cat’s attack. A gash in his hind quarter, his tail bitten off, and plenty of claw marks on his side. There were so many zebras in the park that one just drives on by without stopping. Same for the elephants. The elephant population has really rebounded because of the world wide ban on ivory. The poachers have now switched to Rhino horns which are just creatin. Ground up the rich Chinese think this is an aphrodisiac. Rhino horns are fetching about $20,000 USD. It is easier to cut their horns off if you kill them first.
