Two days ago , it was World Rhino Day, which was designed to draw awareness to the plight of rhinos. I took these photos whilst in South Africa and was amazed by the magnificence and grandeur of these creatures. They need to be protected!

Rhinos are under siege, due to the demand for illegal rhino horn in traditional medicines – despite the fact that rhino horn has been scientifically tested and proven to have no medicinal value. According to WWF, more than 600 rhinos have been gunned down since 2005, and the wildlife trade monitoring network TRAFFIC found that rhino horn from southern Africa is destined for consumer markets in China and Vietnam.
