OK... so I was at the zoo with my three young sons, when all of a sudden, my 5 year old says, "Look mommy, those rhinos are playing leapfrog!" Well, as a fairly smart cookie, I knew that was NOT going to be the case. I looked up, and sure enough, in front of God and everybody... Rhino love. My 4 year old said, "No, he's just going for a piggyback ride." As I struggled NOT to laugh out loud, and hold my camera steady (I'm sick, I know), my 10 year old just quietly muttered, "Oh jeez... I could have done without that." LOL

So here you go... Rhino Love. Don't want to submit it for Wildlife because it just isn't right. ;o)

The comment from your ten year old is priceless.

But, I think Wildlife is an advanced editing challenge. You would have been well within your rights to blur out the background in photoshop and enter this in the hopes of a blue.

Of course, had you done that, we would have been well within our rights to compare this to every one of Dr. Jones' shots in our comments, and give you a ten. It would be your highest score ever. Every time your kids looked at your profile you'd have to explain both Doctor Jones and the "leapfrog/piggyback."

Ahhhh well. Good fun missed. Nice shot BTW.

The door is wide open on this one, but I will refrain myself.

Well, where else do you expect them to do it? It's not like the zoo provides them with room service and some bubbly.

Good one Laurie.

My only question is, what kind of rhinos are they? They look too small to be white rhinos, definitely not black rhinos ... so, I guess, Asian rhinos.

Its an interesting composition. I feel that it has been cropped a little tight and the background and the penis to be a little distracting. Keep up the good work pun intended 7.

The sign on the outside of their habitat said Black Rhino. I'm no expert, so I am assuming that's what they are. Maybe in 18 months there will be a third little rhino running about in that habitat. ;o)

Hmm, black rhinos are solitary animals (though obviously, they get together occasionally). At the zoo I worked at (volunteer guide) there is a successful black rhino breeding program, but where they breed them is behind the scenes.

Here are the rest of the photos from our excursion to the Caldwell Zoo in Tyler, TX if you are interested. Feel free to browse through them and let me know what you think, since it was my first attempt at "wildlife" photography. My challenge entry is NOT in there, btw. I hope you enjoy the pictures! :o)
