“Earth Rising”. My watercolor is Inspired by a beautiful #rhino, a gentle and massive herbivore that prefers being alone. They certainly look like little warriors but in their presence, and despite their tough, “armored” appearance, they are generally shy, solitary creatures that prefer to be left alone. These highly individualistic creatures, boast distinct personalities ranging from docile and curious to highly territorial and ill-tempered. . Despite being distinguished as white or black rhinoceros, both species of African rhino have a grey skin colour. In size, only elephants are bigger than white rhinos. White rhinos are the second-largest land mammal in the world! . Did you know that a group of Rhinos is called a “crash”? . On Rhino #conservation, By 1970, rhino numbers dropped to 70,000, and today, around 27,000 rhinos remain in the wild. Very few rhinos survive outside national parks and reserves due to persistent poaching and habitat loss over many decades. Three species of rhino—black, Javan, and Sumatran—are critically endangered. . I do not want to roam the earth without this ancient foresters. We can’t keep taking and taking from the lands and the living things that roam there…
