I guess it just comes from the words nose and horn. So it’s a very literal name as opposed to, say, dog or cat. Here are a few rhinoceros shots for today.
If you enjoy my photographs please consider making a purchase. All of the proceeds from the sale will go directly to help support our friends volunteering at the Seed of Hope in South Africa which is a great organization really making a difference in the community. Every little bit makes a difference, even a small digital download for your desktop!

So now I wonder what hippopatumus means…
Ooo, good question, I hadn’t thought that far in advance. I’ll look into it and let you know when I post my hippo shots.
