Better Together: 2 rare and solitary black rhinos great each other

Seeing 1 black rhino is a major feat of luck in most national parks. Seeing 2 black rhinos, calm enough to greet each other in a relaxed and leisurely manner is a once in a lifetime moment. For us this image is a metaphor for the fact that even the most reticent and solitary of creatures is better when its with another!
