EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming moment between a black rhino and her calf in the Salient of the Aberdare National Park. The distinct coloration of their skin is a result of the mud-wallows they frequent, which are filled with bright red soil found in this area. Rhino offspring rely on their mothers for nourishment and protection, suckling for up to a year before they begin to explore independently. The strength and power exuded by these magnificent creatures are evident as they peacefully feed side by side. Intriguingly, perched upon the back of the mother rhino is an ox pecker bird, engaging in a symbiotic relationship with its host. This mutually beneficial partnership sees the bird feasting on ticks and parasites that inhabit the rhino's tough hide while providing an early warning system against potential threats. The Aberdare National Park, located in Kenya's central province, serves as a vital wildlife reserve for numerous African species. It offers refuge to not only black rhinos but also various other mammals and birds that call this natural haven home. As we admire this awe-inspiring image captured by NP from Discover Images by AWL, let us reflect on our responsibility to protect these precious animals and their habitats so that future generations can continue to witness such impressive displays of nature's beauty.
