Rhino cow horn

[Jeni Williams]

This must be one of the longest horns I have seen on a Rhino - even more spectacular is that it is a cow with a very young calf. The length of the calf's head and neck is only 2/3 of the mother's horn!
It was taken in the Hluhluwe Game Reserve in KwazuluNatal, South Africa in rainy weather. She was too far away for any flash to be effective.

Superb. I am sure it was a thrill to watch them both. One can realise how delicate a newborn is. Is this a big crop?

Cheers,

That horn is something you do not see too often, altough I have seem someting similar in Khama Rhino Sanctuary in Botswana, strangely enough that was also a female. Unfortunately the grass was a little too long to get any good images.
