Southern White Rhinoceros, Monarto Zoo, South Australia
The Southern White Rhinoceros on exhibit at Monarto Zoo near Adelaide, South Australia are truly magnificent animals. During our visit last year we alighted from the bus taking visitors around the zoo and took the short walk to the lookout platform over looking their enclosure. This enabled me to get these great shots up close. It’s awesome to have a rhino only metres from where you are standing.
I also wrote about these animals here, including more photos of the enclosure.

The Southern White Rhinoceros is one of the featured animals at our local Monarto Zoo, just a few minutes’ drive from our home.
The Rhino is one of the largest land animals in the world. This particular species is found in southern Africa. Its habitat includes grasslands and savannah where there are trees and a water supply. Rhinos have poor eyesight they rely on a good sense of smell to locate food and water. They also have a good sense of hearing.
