What an amazing animal to survive in such harsh environment.
Thanks to all those involved with Save the Rhino Trust Namibia and Round River Conservation Studies in Namibia for assisting these desert-adapted black rhino. These rhinos are particularly special as they are a distinct subspecies of the black rhino, the desert- adapted Rhino (Diceros Bicornis Bicornis). They exist entirely outside a national park or protected area on land communally owned by the Damara, Herrero and Himba Tribes. The desert environment through which they roam is so harsh that some areas are inaccessible by vehicle and are monitored by camel teams. |
