Evening Dip for a One-Horned Rhino

Описание: At the end of another hot day in Chitwan National Park, Nepal, this greater one-horned rhino entered the river to cool off. Most of the tourists had left the park, so I was fortunate to enjoy this peaceful moment undisturbed.

The recovery of Nepal’s rhinos is one of the country’s great conservation success stories and Chitwan is the best place to view these extraordinary looking animals. Their thick skin forms deep folds around the neck, shoulders and rump, giving them the appearance of wearing armour plating.
