Description

White Rhino at the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque. I find these animals so incredibly fascinating. They are second only to the elephant in size of all the land animals on earth. And how beautifully odd they seem having to haul around such an enormous horn for defense. Nature is indeed amazing.

Exif: F Number: 5.3, Exposure Bias Value: -0.67, ExposureTime: 1/80 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 240.00 mm, Model: NIKON D7100
