EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a heartwarming moment at London Zoo in September 1928. In the image, we see a young Black Rhinoceros calf being tenderly bottle-fed by its dedicated keeper. The bond between the two is evident as they share this intimate connection. The historical significance of this photo cannot be understated. It serves as a poignant reminder of the critical endangerment faced by these majestic creatures even back then. With their distinctive black coats and powerful presence, Black Rhinoceroses have always been awe-inspiring animals to behold. The full-length side view of the calf showcases its adorable features, emphasizing its vulnerability and innocence. Hand-reared due to unforeseen circumstances, this little rhino receives love and care from its human surrogate parent. Frederick William Bond's masterful photography beautifully captures every detail in stunning black and white tones. This monochromatic approach adds depth and timelessness to an already remarkable image. As we admire this extraordinary snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on our responsibility towards protecting endangered species like the Black Rhinoceros. Through photographs like these, we are reminded of their beauty, fragility, and our duty to ensure their survival for generations to come.
