The Square-lipped Unicorn! - a photo on Flickriver

            Featured on Flickr Explore #28 on 2023-08-26.

The white rhinoceros or square-lipped rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) is the largest extant species of rhinoceros. It has a wide mouth used for grazing and is the most social of all rhino species. The white rhinoceros consists of two subspecies: the southern white rhinoceros, with an estimated 20,000 wild-living animals in the year 2015, and the much rarer and nearly extinct northern white rhinoceros.

The magnificent rhinoceros with the longest horn I have ever seen was busy grazing in the open savannah plains of Africa  and was photographed during a photography safari on an early morning game drive.
