Rhinos, hippos, and ???



Hung out on horseback with four rhinos. MY GOODNESS they are large. Phillip was schooling his lead horse and they were not too afraid. Fascinating to see them not really react to the group of horses and some chaos taking place. On the other hand, the mother elephant and baby were not sticking around. Supposedly the rhino's eyesight and intelligence are not as developed as the elephant, so is that why they are less fearful?

I need to take some photos of the the very large thorns that are on the brush we ride through. Wow! Actually got hooked in the upper lip today. I don't know how the horses do it. They have spider webs and thorny bushes/trees to deal with. A lot of very large spiders and VERY large webs. There are advantages to riding in the back.
