World Rhinoceros Day
World Rhinoceros Day
Keep the five alive! That is the mission of World Rhinoceros Day, the International Rhino foundation, rhino specialists, and fans around the globe. Those five species are the Javan, Sumatran, greater one-horned, black and white rhinoceros, the latter which can be seen here today and identified by its two horns and square lip. The global rhino population is estimated to be under 27,000. While there have been successful conservation efforts, ensuring the survival of these amazing animals will likely be a perpetual challenge. Habitat loss is a common issue for many animals globally, but rhinos are particularly targeted by poachers. Parks like the Shamwari Game Reserve, the site of our photo, employ anti-poaching squads to keep these rhinos safe.Desktop Version

Vancouver Coastal Sea wolves in the Great Bear Rainforest, Canada
Vancouver Coastal Sea wolves in the Great Bear Rainforest, Canada
Amidst the mist-covered cedars and Sitka spruces of Canada"s Great Bear Rainforest, the Vancouver Coastal Sea wolf roams free. These canines, seen in British Columbia in today"s image, thrive in this ecosystem, which stretches from the north of Vancouver Island to the Alaskan border. This unique subspecies of the grey wolf is specific to the region and leads a semi-aquatic lifestyle, swimming between islands in search of food. Their diet primarily consists of fish, clams, mussels, crabs, otters and seals. This marine-based diet is a major difference with other wolf species, which feed almost exclusively on meat. These animals live in closely bonded groups, communicating with each other through growls, barks and whines, so they"re often heard before they are seen.Desktop Version
