Sunday snooze…

You Tumblrs are a curious lot…I post a picture of a common, albeit fat squirrel sitting doing nothing and you are all over it. But I post a picture of a rare and elusive TWO HEADED BLACK RHINO, and, well, it doesn’t get the love the chubby rodent gets. Just sayin’… ;-)

A massive White Rhino in the Lewa Downs conservation area, Kenya. What a privilege to see so many white and black rhinos and to get so close. Insane to think these prehistoric looking creatures are slaughtered for their horns, which are then crafted into dagger holders for the elite in Yemen. The dagger holders, called Jambiya, are often inlaid with gems and are considered a status symbol. Looking into the eyes of these fabulous animals, it is just so difficult to imagine someone killing them–and to do so purely for ornamentation is even more unfathomable.
