Linda Lou Burton posting from Lake Nakuru National Park, Nakuru, Kenya \u2013<\/em>\u201cStop!\u201d I yelled. A good safari driver knows to stop whenever he hears that word, and Daniel was a very good safari driver. He STOPPED. I\u2019d spotted a rhino in the bushes; it was the first animal I saw this morning as we came down the hill, even before the lake was in view. Two things about this rhino seemed odd to me. It was in the bushes instead of open grassland, and it had a long POINTY horn. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I zoomed the camera for a closer look. See what I mean?\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By now I’d been told about Black and White Rhinos, Southern and Northern Rhinos, so many species, which one was this? When you have an expert safari guide like Abdi AND an expert safari driver like Daniel, you get your answers right away. Today I learned even more about these unique critters who get chased down and shot at and mutilated by terrible awful poachers wanting only their HORN. Like where, and how, and what, they eat. Eye witness!<\/p>\n
