Kind of a cheat, as it isn’t a picture I took, but good enough to bust someone’s chops.

Was the rhino called Neil?
When we lived in Austria, we visited Römerstadt Carnuntum Carnuntum — Römerstadt Carnuntum a few times. They’ve reconstructed a number of Roman buildings on the site including Spas, underfloor heating, toilets etc. Really fascinating place. So much of how we build homes and infrastructure and how we live today has its origins in Roman civilisation from around two thousand years ago.

At least yours had a horn
Not a great shot but you can see that the poor rhino has had its major horn sawn off (under vet supervision I must add). We are losing literally hundreds of rhino annually to poaching , they are being killed to crop the horn for sale in the East as an aphrodisiac. It’s BIG business.
Even the National Parks are losing them , the Kruger lost 394 in 2020 and that’s just the bodies that were found mutilated. The military have been drafted in to find the poachers and the numbers are better but it’s still happening…
They best estimate is Kruger has a little over 3500 left - Endangered Species !! They are so placid , literally gentle giants.
Sorry for the rant - a pet hate subject

One of my favourite accidental photos. Unedited off the 5DMK2. The parliament fields in Iceland. I call it the rock cat. It wasn’t until a couple of years later that someone pointed it out when going through a photo dump, and said “Oh, that looks like a cat in the rocks”. I really hadn’t noticed and was just snapping the awesome surroundings.
