Dear All,
Image from the Kaziranga national park, Forest guard helping an Indian One horned Rhinoceros to extract itself from a mire.
The Rhino was grazing adjacent to the main road while we were entering the central zone. While returning, we found that the Rhino was trapped in the mud. It must have struggled to extract itself however when we reached the spot, it had all but given up the struggle to extract itself. The team of forest guards then set about removing the mud in a bid to extract the Rhino. It however seemed to be getting deeper and deeper into trouble. We departed fearing for the Rhino's safety.
The next day though, we found him merrily grazing not 50 yards from the spot, giving a couple of mynas the benefit of a free ride without any apparent worry at all...!!
EOS 7D +300 f4 @ 1/500, f8, ISO400.
Look forward to comments.
Cheers
Dipankar
