Working fine on mine...? Will definitely keep up with the "good" work (thanks, appreciate it)... Africafreak.com will probably move into a slightly different direction in the months to come...will take some time, but should be exciting! More on this later... Cheers, Mike aka Africafreak Very weird that the video does not work on your computer! Working fine on mine…?

Will definitely keep up with the “good” work (thanks, appreciate it)…

Africafreak.com will probably move into a slightly different direction in the months to come…will take some time, but should be exciting!

Unfortunately the video doesn't work on our computer. My friend's favourite animal is a Rhino and I got curious what they are like when I saw you on Twitter, following us-Friends of Glass (I work for them). So I went to your site and read this. Great. My brother has been to Kenya twice. Yes, save the animals and wildlife! Keep up the good work. Hi Michael, that was amazing to read. Unfortunately the video doesn’t work on our computer.

How close they get. Normally they would show you not to come closer! Especially with a baby rhino around! We've traveled through Tanzania and there are also still a few black rhinos left. But they are very shy & we were unlucky. I would have loved to see some in the wild. But the contact with wild elephants was also amazing. It's something very special to see the animals in the wild! Save them wherever you are! Amazing! How close they get. Normally they would show you not to come closer! Especially with a baby rhino around!

Please notice that although the author of this amazing video states that we are dealing with "black" rhinos, he is mistaken. Have checked the animals carefully and they are indeed white rhinos! Know the difference between the two species? A black rhino has a distinctive prehensile lip, and is also known as the hooked-lip rhinoceros. It holds its head high and is smaller than the square-lipped species (or white rhinoceros, featured in the video). Black rhinos are also darker than white rhinos. White rhinos, as you may have noticed, are definitely not white (slate grey rather). The name comes from the Dutch word "wijde", which means wide (because of the wide mouth)! It is believed to have been mistranslated, and has become "wit", white in Afrikaans! Hi there!
