One-horned Rhino - The Mists Of Time
The One-horned Rhinoceros is something of a wonder - a truly prehistoric creature whose ancestors roamed the earth nearly 50 million years ago. Surviving in an increasingly hostile world it is, in fact, something of a success story in Assam where it is well protected and its numbers have now risen to around 2,000. This female, seen in the early morning, appeared to emerge from the mists of time. We can only hope that the main threats of habitat loss and poaching can continue to be controlled.
