White rhino & zebra Kruger National Park South Africa

Seems we may have been interrupting this rhino mud bath at Kruger National Park.  Many animals roll in the mud to cool off and create a caked layer to keep bugs off.

Of course the zebras and a blue wildebeest also looked on.

After this white rhino crawled out of its spa it wandered behind a bush as if to hide from us paparazzi.

I hope it didn’t think we were poachers because the only way I’d shoot a Rhino is with my camera.  Only Rhinos need Rhino horn.
