We saw this rhino with very long horn today . It's a female and was in company of a bull and also a younger rhino , probably her calf . Certainly the longest horn I have seen on a rhino in KNP .

Nice sighting okie!!! I am just glad you did not mention where you saw it, I am sure these murderous thugs that poach them would be there in a flash.

What a beautiful animal. It looks like the ones from Serengeti. Please keep it's location a secret.

Sprocky , I may still be a Lions supporter , but not quite that stupid to shout out the location .

Nice one okie, you Lion supporters are impressing me more each day, but not with the rugby.

You cannot have a winner , if there is no loser

Yip!! Lets hope that the poachers are the losers with this beautiful Rhino!!!!

Indeed ! I understand that her movements are being monitored by Sanparks , and hopefully she could be fitted with a tracking collar ?

Great sighting and what an impressive horn - good to hear that she is being monitored.

Yes, okie!

Ironically, the longest but thinnest horns often occur on the females!

There was a regular around Mestel Dam many years back we used to call "Sarah Kromhoring"...she died of old age.

The bulls have the heaviest horns, and poachers target that.

Remember, they get paid by the weight...

I know this female - saw her a number of times!

Sure we have seen her too. A few years back with a very small calf

Im pretty sure i have seen her too, about 2 years ago

I believe that apart from the one we sighted , that currently there is indeed another female with a horn that is even longer . She apparently ranges in an area about 50 kilometers from the one in my picture .
