Rhinoceroses are the second-largest land mammals, eclipsed only by elephants. Despite their size, they have, for the most part, a gentle temperament. They are mostly solitary animals that prefer to live an independent life. However, they have their own territories and will fight to protect their territories. The size differs somewhat between males and females. A female will require an area of about one and four square miles. Males require less room since they roam in search of a mate. They can reach speeds of about 55 kilometres per hour (or around 35 miles per hour). Because their eyesight is not good, they can make blind charges and will sometimes run straight into a tree! Ol Pejeta is an incredible place to view rhino behavior. They have nearly 150 black rhinos, the last two northern white rhinos and 39 southern white rhinos. Help support Ol Pejeta’s work by donating to their end of year campaign to raise $150,000 for 150 rhinos via the link in my bio. #OlPejeta #OlPejetaConservancy #Africa #AmiVitale #NatGeo #Kenya #KenyanWildlife #Wildlife #WildlifeConservation #conservation (at Ol Pejeta Conservancy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXlnaLAFz9s/?utm_medium=tumblr

I shared this last year, but it’s worth sharing again.... 🦏 It's #WorldRangerDay and I want to share something with you that I learned a couple of years ago. You see, I often say that I have dedicated my life to reconnecting people to wildlife and conservation. But when I was in #Kenya and met the Rangers & Anti Poaching Units in @Lewa_Wildlife Conservancy and in @OlPejeta Conservancy... Well, I learned what it really means to dedicate one's life. These brave rangers spend around 24 to 26 days living in the Conservancy patrolling and protecting the area. Then they take a few days off to go home and see family, and then head right back to protecting the wildlife of Kenya. They track animals, search for poachers, work with local communities and give their life to protect the biodiversity and heritage of their home. True dedication. True heroes for wildlife. . . . . . #wildlife #conservation #lewa #lewawildlifeconservancy #olpejeta #rangers #antipoaching #hero #heroes #wildlifeheroes #AdricaRangerDay #RealHeroes #wildlifeRangers #AfricanParks #worldRangerDay2019 #stopPoaching (at Lewa Wildlife Conservancy) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0maDImnfgs/?igshid=1wzmktoe0ny1m

#MondayMotivation shout out from #wildographer, conservationist & rhino warrior @jemu_mwenda Take a good look at the last 2 remaining Southern Black Rhinos whilst they still exist and follow progress at @biorescue_project and the world clings to hope. Meanwhile, here .Najin stands looking behind for her daughter Fatu at the endangered species enclosure at @olpejeta . In @jemu_mwenda’s words “I hope that these amazing creatures will continue bracing themselves for this tough world, I hope they will continue upholding their prehistoric attributes which for millions of years they gracefully carried along. Will they survive us? #SaveTheRhinos #StopPoaching Support organisations like @olpejeta @savingthesurvivors @therhinoorphanage @rhinorevolutionorg …any of your local rhino conservation bodies. #RhinoConservation #ProtectWildlife #SaveRhinos #OlPejeta #SavingTheSurvivors #Monochromatic #monochromemonday https://www.instagram.com/p/ClyHlM1sbNU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
