In the spotlight: |
Borneo rhinoceros is certainly an endangered species with only a few dozen individuals alive. The first photo of one was shot only last year, but the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) project has published the first video staging a Borneo rhino.

South Africa: I’m back
(Monday, April 23rd, 2007)
As announced earlier here, I went to South Africa for a photo safari. Now, I’m back and I am currently rumaging through the 1500 images I brought back (don’t worry; most of them are just crap that I will not inflict on you). But some will be appearing on the site in the coming days. To initiate this, here is a white rhino encountered at the end of the very first game drive. The light was quite poor, but it was the first time I was seeing one in the wild.

West African black rhinos declared extinct
(Thursday, August 3rd, 2006)
A scientific study recently suggested that these animals that were present in West Africa no longer exist in the wild and the species went extinct in this part of the world. Actually, the expected last animals failed to be found in Northern Cameroon.
Consequently, the West African black rhino sub-species has been tentatively declared extinct.
In Africa, another black rhino and four white rhino sub-species (all grey, by the way) are also on the brink of extinction due to continuous poaching and competition between rhinoceros and man for their natural habitat.
