Interesting mammal observations at Ngala

Note
Location South Africa Subject Behaviour Species White Rhino (simum)

A white rhino bull uttered a very strange, high-pitched squeaking call at intervals for over two hours, as it accompanied an adult female and its 2 months old calf. The obviously anxious bull appeared to be trying to prevent the mother and calf from moving away but no aggression was observed.
