Mother rhino shows off her perfect pout for the camera
The mother rhino in this video decided to show us how the perfect pout is done in front of the camera.
The white rhinoceros is one of Africa’s most incredible beasts, and forms part of the very popular big five group of animals. Once in abundance a long time ago, these animals only roam a small part of the continent at present. Just like the black rhinoceros, the white rhino has been under severe pressure, being poached for their horns, making them highly vulnerable as a species. These animals are now extinct in most countries in Africa and only found in protective areas such as reserves and national parks in Southern Africa where they roam free in the wild.
Going on a safari in Africa and seeing one of these incredible animals is a huge highlight. Their rarity and dinosaur-like looks always leaves safari goers in awe. While leading a safari in the Kruger National Park we were lucky to come across a large white rhino cow and her calf. The mother rhino and her calf just finished wallowing in the mud after which they walked up to a large fallen tree. The mother rhino found the tree trunk to be the perfect place to start scratching her large wide lips. This took us by surprise as rhinos normally scratch the sides and back of their bodies against a hard surface. This lip scratching was a first for us to see. The upper lip of this female rhino was huge and clearly very itchy. I started filming the mother rhino scratching while her calf stood close to her, wondering what to do with itself. It was as if the mother rhino noticed me filming her when she paused with her scratching to show off her perfect pout for the camera. That was so cool and funny to see the rhino cow showing everyone how the perfect pout should look like. After a few seconds of pouting for the camera, the mother rhino continued scratching that incredibly large upper lip of hers. In all my many years of leading safaris, this was the first time ever that I saw any animal pouting for the camera, and this mother rhino did it in style. She definitely had the lips for it, enough to make all the pouters out there a little jealous.
