continued from yesterday, as we tried to approach they ran away. So we left it there and watched each other from 100-150m.
the mom kept a wary eye on us but the baby felt safe and plunged for a drink. Better be careful with that big horn. And well, when I say baby, it’s a rhetorical expression because he/she was 4 years old already. The mother will sever the link at 6 years old. Evolution didn’t do too good for rhinos. To make that horn attractive for small dicks who believe in some viagra effect was one glitch, then 16 months for pregnancy, 6 years for the kids to leave home, 45 minutes for the male to copulate successfully (one rare example for male to naturally take time I know), one birth at a time, that requires in average 8 years between baby deliveries…
