Touch of Africa

[RobbieA]

Tadays view, The White Rhinocerous.... so who knows the difference between the white and black rhino's?



and of course, the horse with stripes, The Zebra

[aster]

Lovely! Thanks Robbie...

Well, I got some help from Wikipedia and here are my results:
The white rhinoceros is actually larger, wider, and heavier than the black rhinoceros which is narrower and weighs less.
The white one also has a wide mouth form while the black one has a pointed mouth form.
The white ones majorly live in South Africa while the black ones are prone to east and central Africa habitats.

And the white ones outnumber the black species...

ps. I hope I pass the test.

Yildiz you just won Robbie's A700

Well...Thank you your Imperial Excellency!
I'm much-humbled by your generosity, much as it comes at the expense of an other mortal being's sweet A700....

ps.In that case we would have to collect money between us and buy the A900 and the new Carl-Zeiss lens series for Robbie to return the favor and also to get more beautiful Africa photos...

Now this is an astounding idea. Please don't let me stop you.

Haha, yes, I think you got the answer. But the main difference is that the white one has a wider mouth and is more of a grazer of grass, the black one's mouth is narower and eats more from shrubs and bush. We have both of them in South Africa..

Wow, you see, this can become an educational post as well.. hahahahahaha

Now I know what I'll be doing the next time I'm out and about doing shopping in the city: buying more than a couple of lottery tickets to increase my chances!

And yes, it's a very educational thread...

I love Zebras.

Canadian Zebra's? You gotta be kidding??? is this for real? Didn't know you got something like that. Please educate me and post a pic!

[Javelin]

No kidding. there are 3 big farms near where I live that breed them (not so many wild ones around here So maybe I mislead you a little ) as well as Camels, Reindeer... one farm even had a Lioness they were tasked with raising to adulthood. llamas, Alpaca's, Kangaroo's too

Well, that explains that. Sorry, home bred animals don't count.. hahaha.. There are actually 2 breeds of zebra over here..Burchells and the Cape Mountain Zebra. And guess what? they are wild!! hehe.. it is Africa after all.

[RobbieA]

And since we on the subject of Zebras, they are the easiest animals to convert their pics to pieces of art.

[Javelin]

Nery nice. and yes I suppose so. no matter what you do to the pictures those stripes show through and there is no mistaking them.

[Dr. Harout]

...those stripes show through and there is no mistaking them.

Unless you're a tse-tse fly
FYI, tse-tse cannot discern zebra's "costume" from the grass, thus not biting them and eventually not infecting them with "sleeping disease".

[Javelin]

Really? thats interesting. The navy painted their ships with patterns like that and they would dissapear against the horizon and make it hard to judge the range..
