I am very impressed by the drama going on here. I can see and almost feel the desesparation of this animal in the zoo...He looks like he wants to hit the wall with his hornes. Maybe he already tried other kind of self destruction acts as his hair looks like...and the strong light...and the dark wall...they speak about this tragedy...to me. Great! #5894067
