The White Rhino And A Pair Of Oxpeckers, Kruger National Park, South Africa

The white rhinoceros or square-lipped rhinoceros is the largest extant species of rhinoceros. It has a wide mouth used for grazing and is the most social of all rhino species. The oxpeckers are endemic to the savanna of Sub-Saharan Africa. They have the habit of perching on large mammals (both wild and domesticated) such as cattle, zebras, impalas, hippopotamuses, or rhinoceroses, and eating ticks, small insects, botfly larvae, and other parasites
