Unicorn Relaxing on the Weekend! - a photo on Flickriver

            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 gestation period of a white rhino is 16 months. A single calf is born and usually weighs between 40 and 65 kg. Calves are unsteady for their first two to three days of life. When threatened, the baby will run in front of the mother, which is very protective of her calf and will fight for it vigorously. Weaning starts at two months, but the calf may continue suckling for over 12 months. The birth interval for the white rhino is between two and three years. Before giving birth, the mother will chase off her current calf. White rhinos can live to be up to 40-50 years old. 

This handsome southern white rhino calf was resting next to it's sleeping Mamma and was captured on a photography safari during an early morning game drive in the wild savannah plains of Africa.
