Window on Cherry Pie Lane

I was lucky enough to spot 7 Black Rhinos; the most of anyone on our safari. This was actually a female with her 3 year old offspring. I was the one in our Land Rover to spot them first too. What a great find! Lots of jealous folks when we got back to camp and told the rest what our vehicle had found. They are very endangered in Tanzania due to all the poaching that goes on. Very sad! The name Black Rhino has nothing to do with color, but rather the shape of the mouth. The mouth of this rhino is narrow whereas the white rhino has a wide mouth. They have very poor eyesight, but have wonderful senses of smell and hearing. As you can see, mud bathing is a favorite way to spend a hot afternoon.
