    playful baby rhino

    I’m watching a white rhino mother and her calf when I think I overhear the mom quote George Bernard Shaw and say, “Youth is wasted on the young.”  The calf, just a few months old, is full of energy and ready to play, racing around in circles and periodically charging our vehicle.  I’ve got a front row seat for this entertaining show while on safari at the Earth Lodge in South Africa’s Sabi Sabi Game Reserve.  It’s just one of many memorable wildlife encounters on my three week trip.  I’ll be posting several videos from the trip and talking about my experiences on my radio show, National Geographic Weekend in the coming weeks.  Meanwhile enjoy this first one which also shows you how a rhino scratches an itch.
