The Life Of A White Rhino

A baby White Rhino next to its mother

A female White Rhino becomes sexually mature when she reaches six years years of age.

She will usually pair with an older male for One to Two weeks during mating before they finally part ways and she will give birth to a single calf after 16 to 18 months.

Once her baby is born, she will nurture and protect it vigorously for up to three years, dedicating her full attention to her precious and endangered baby.

After the three years are up and the mom is ready to mate again, she will begin to part ways from her growing baby and search for a mate.

Did you know that a baby white rhino always walks infront of its mother rather than behind her?

The Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies. The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
