Laimokk-ninasarvik, Ceratotherium simum simum

Nannipunnid! 
Foto esiplaanil on alfaisane, kes nautis kaunist päeva joogikoha juures. Seda hetkeni kui lähedusse jõudis kamp noori ninasarvikukutte. Noorsandid teadsid, kes on peremees, kuid siiski kompasid piire, sest taheti ju ka juua. Ühel hetkel see piir sai siiski alfa jaoks ületatud, sest vanamees jooksis hooga kamba suunas. Kuigi selge ülekaal oli noorukite poolel (ega nad keegi suuruselt alfaisasele alla jäänud ning neid oli kokku viis), pistsid nad kõik hetk hiljem võsa poole plagama nagu noored sälud. Joogikoha juurde juleti tagasi tulla alles siis kui vana ninasarvik oli lahkunud. uMkhuze kaitseala, LAV.
Wussies! 
The rhino with its back towards the photographer is a dominant male who enjoyed a lovely day by the waterhole. Until a bunch of youngsters approached from the bushes. The juniors new who is the boss but still tested the limits because they also wanted to drink. At one moment the limit was exceeded for the alpha male and it ran angrily towards the young ones. Although the bachelors had the upper hand (all of them were almost the same size as alpha and there were five of them), they all rushed towards the bushes like young bucks. They returned to the waterhole only after the alpha had left. White rhinoceros, uMkhuze Game Reserve, Mkuze, South Africa.
