I love this shot Manuela. Even though its dozing you can still feel its power.
A real sleeping giant.
Great.

Hee hee! Fun shot. Never ever saw a dozing rhino. In India they are gray colored. Its interesting the german rhino is reddish.

@Shuva Brata Deb: I do not know from which continent this rhino actually is (?), we do not have rhinos in Germany ;) I believe this one was also gray but before his siesta played around with reddish earth and apparently that got him totally exhausted...

that is a great shot - so much detail! I agree that I don't think I've ever seen a sleeping rhino. His coloring (as mentioned) is also very interesting and his horns are huge!

Man, do I know THIS feeling.

Great capture. Looks like something that could be used for an add. Not sure for what, but it would make a great add image.

çà le rendrait presque sympathique de le voir ainsi, si paisible !!
Pourtant il s'en dégage une force... tranquille là !
Un très beau portrait animalier ! :-)
