The Square-lipped (or White) Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) is severely threatened by poaching, and sightings of them are eagerly sought by visitors to game parks. This Rhino family of three was lying in the shade on a hot day, with Red-Billed Oxpeckers, birds that remove skin parasites, working over their skins, with Impalas grazing nearby. Stable groups of Square-lipped Rhinos are known as “crashes”. Bulls are usually territorial and solitary, only associating with females in oestrus, so this trio of a large bull together with a cow and her calf is unusual. Square-lipped Rhino calves remain with their mothers for around three years – this calf was still taking milk, but was probably getting most of its nutrition from grass. Mothers and calves are inseparable, with calves usually walking in front of their mother when they move. As the calf lay snuggled up to its mother, an adult Red-billed Oxpecker cleaned its forehead, while two others perched on its back. A juvenile Oxpecker then moved to the calf’s nostril, its eye and then it finally almost disappeared inside the calf’s ear! Animals often find Oxpeckers annoying – the Rhino calf seemed to have had enough, as it flicked the Oxpecker out of its ear! This didn’t work – other Oxpeckers continued to glean the skins of the Rhino calf and its mother – the calf wriggled and flicked its ears to drive them away.
