In case you haven’t been on Twitter today, you should know that it is officially World Rhino Day 2015: a day set aside every year since 2010 to celebrate and appreciate all five species of rhino—Black, White, Greater One-Horned, Sumatran, and Javan rhinos.
According to the day’s official website, the celebration was established in 2010 by World Wildlife Fund (WWF) South Africa and has since grown from a small local initiative into “a global phenomenon, uniting NGOs, zoos, cause-related organizations, businesses, and concerned individuals from nearly every corner of the world!”
We, also, live in a corner of the world, while the 500px community represents almost EVERY corner of it, so today we’re doing our part by sharing 35 of the most beautiful photographs of Rhinos uploaded to 500px over the years.
Scroll down, enjoy the pretty pictures, and then check out the World Rhino Day website to find out how you can help the rhinos’ cause this year!
