Well, the gent finally finished his "powdering" process, just to find the lady-in-waiting has wondered off for "greener" pastures.

With their notorious bad eye-sight, this bull rhino had to track the cow by sniffing the ground and following her spoor.

Ditto the rest

This is the last, I had fun with this series and I hope you as well. Thanks for looking and for all the other comments on the previous photos.

Geurt, great series! There's a pronghorn posted just below who's all spiffed up and seems to be looking for a guy. I'll bet you could play matchmaker!

Great series - I really enjoyed seeing the routine! The rhino is such an interesting creature - the short legs, the folds in the skin and the long distance between the ears and the eyes - crazy!

Great series. I never realized that it could take any male of any species so long to get so beautiful... :shock: I thought only the female our of species had a routine like this. :wink:

Geurt,

I have enjoyed not only your excellent series of rhino images but your very creative story as well. Thanks for sharing both with us this week in Wildlife.
