don't fall asleep with the gate open...they will go on a walkabout.

I watched the video and wondered just what the guy chasing them hoped to do if he had caught them? Aren't they notorious for being ill-tempered? Did he have their favorite treats in his coat pockets? and how many treats does it take to entice a rhino back to it's enclosure?

Ok, so they were only loose about 10 minutes but how much rhine can a rhino rhine if a rhino could rhine rhine.

Biden~Time is not afraid to ask the difficult questions about rhinomongering.
:nods:
 
I hadn't even gotten around to talking about the state of Florida wanting to open hunting season on Yogi and BooBoo and yet Rob already is impressed by my hard hitting form of posting.
 
"What's he gonna do when he catches them?"

That reminds me of a time few years back when I was working with buffalo and the hybrid beefaloes. We had finished loading a group of weaned calves onto a trailer when an irate momma decided to take on the gates to get to her calf. My boss and I were standing on the other side of 3 heavy steel gates, watching her discover how to hook and flip the first gate up and over her back, then she went for the second. My question to my boss "what are we going to do if she makes it through the third gate?"

His reply, "get the gun".

(Thankfully the third gate had been hung properly so as to prevent an animal from pulling it off it's hinges, unlike the first two.)
 
I wonder how much rhino watching pays.

You will evidently need a second or maybe third job, as you will be sleepy when rhino watching.

If you must deal with rhinos, deal with proper rhinos.


Arctic Rhino

Ya'll ferment/brew a little bit of everything up there, don't you? ;)

Bison, like rhinos, can be grumpy creatures.
 
I'm writing my congressman...person...whatever, and i'm suggesting a name change for your state.

The State Of Awesome


Whadda ya think?

Alaska works fine as the name. It opens a lot of doors. When I was down in the SE US, I told people I was from too far north to be a Yankee.

Well, ok.

The expense of changing all those state i.d. and license plates and such would prolly be a pain anyway


But any group of people who can make coffee ale is awesome.

Rhino guards should prolly be drinking it!
 
My first husband and I got pissed on by a rhino.
Took 3 showers to get the smell out of our skin and hair.
 
I shouldn't admit that i laughed, but i did.

At the time, it was scary.as hell!
My then bro-in-law was head gamekeeper at Kwazulu Game Reserve. He took us out on patrol and we stumbled across a rhino.
I don't know if it was just time for it to mark its territory, but the next thing we knew was the rhino was rushing straight at us and we were backtracking as fast as possible.
And fuck me - rhinos can RUN!
We ended up in a thornbush hiding as quietly as possible.
The rhino ran full tilt up to the thornbush, stopped dead in a cloud of dust, and then turned around and sprayed a bucketful of steaming-hot, stinky piss all over us.
And then wondered off, calm as can be.

I think I didn't stop shaking for a week!
