Top 10 photos from Rhino Friday Posted on 24 May 2013 Tags:Africa, eastern cape, Namibia, Port Elizabeth, Swaziland Rhino poaching is a huge problem in Southern Africa: this isn’t news. However, the outrage doesn’t seem to be getting us anywhere, as the death toll of one of Africa’s iconic species climbs ever higher. (Read: six simple ways to help end rhino poaching.) One of the ways we are trying to support rhino conservation is to raise awareness with our #RhinoFriday posts, on Facebook and Twitter. The intention is to create dialogue and share ideas about how we can support our dwindling rhino population, and the fierce conservationists who are fighting for them (like lat year’s top five rhino charities.) Many people have also shared great photos that showcase rhinos’ unique beauty, and we thought they were too good not to share. Ursula Celliers took this photo in the Kruger National Park Kim Steinberg took this photo of a black rhino in Namibia, and is using it to raise funds for rhino conservation. See more of Kim Steinberg’s photography here. Andrew Harvey of African Sky Safari and Tours took this photo in northern KZN Check out African Sky’s Facebook page here. Ayesha Cantor snapped this shy baby near Port Elizabeth Rudi Hulshof took this gorgeous sunset photo in Limpopo. Check out more of Rudi Hulshof’s photography here. Pierre Steenkamp snapped this photo in North-West Province. Find more of Pierre Steenkamp’s photography here. Dawn Holstock managed to capture this fellow's distant gaze in the Eastern Cape. Sally Mackay took this lovely close-up in KZN Lauren Davies took this in KZN: we think the position of the two rhinos is a bit of an optical illusion. Pierre Lombard found (and snapped) this handsome rhino in Swaziland.
