The White Rhino is distinctive for its flat, wide upper lip. This is an integral part of its feeding adaptation, since it enables the animal to graze on grasses, even when they are fairly short.
This upper lip allows it to get low down to the ground and pull the grass out with ease. As such, the White Rhino is a pure grazer.
This morning in the lot across the street. They seem to be flocking about the neighborhood lately. Notice the blue iridescence on some. Missouri City, Texas.

That's all I could get out in the pouring rain, without an umbrella and without a tripod. Apart from that, of course, the excitement was great to stand relatively close to these wild animals. The strains through wind and rain were definitely worth it.
Specifically, zebras prefer to eat grass that is green and short, but in a pinch they'll eat all kinds of grass. Almost 90% of their diet is made up of grass. They also eat leaves and twigs, and some zebras eat herbs and shrubs, especially at times when grass is scarce.
In the valley, near Ulaanhus, Bayan-Olgiy, Mongolia, the horses were out grazing for the afternoon while the clouds passed by unnoticed by them.

These are my neighbor's cows. I stopped on the way home and shot this. The cows just stood and watched me.
In reference to the many comments about the thorns in the upper corner: I leaned down and ducked my head under a barbed wire fence to get this shot. The thorns were hanging down from the fence and I am fine! LOL

The Belgian horses (draught horses) of my previous photos live at "Hoeve Hangerijn" near Bruges, Belgium.
This farm is a place where both people with or without mental or physical impairments can meet, watch farm animals, visit a vegetable garden and an orchard, or simply talk and play. It is situated in the nature reserve "Gemene Weidebeek" and as I live nearby, I often go there for a walk.
