Tomorrow I get to take my fourth photo caravan at the Wild Animal Park. Yes it is a tough life, but someone has to do it LOL. I am looking most forward to seeing my buddy seen on the left here. He is a Northern White Rhino named "Arnie" and there are less than a dozen of him left in the world.
The story of the White Rhinos really touched me. Being so critically endangered, a focus has been to try to preserve the species. Arnie here is there male and the had two females. Arnie's sad problem is he cannot get a date. The girls just don't like him - awwww poor guy. Beyond that though, the two females at the park had their own issues. The female rhinos form a bond - to a point of they will even get on the same cycle. One of the two females at the park suffered from PCOS and consequently would not ovulate regularly, the other female in turn stopped cycling. Once this was figured out, they both reached menopause. Obviously I can relate to these animals.
