Rhulani Insights 217 – Black Rhino or White Rhino Midden?
Look behind the scenes of Rhulani Safari Lodge.
We welcome you to the first blog with our ranger Thato, where we meet out in the bush and discover a so-called "Rhino Midden". That means it's a kind of toilet that rhinos use. Why do they do that?
Curiously, we come across a midden which is used by Black Rhino as well as by White Rhino. This gives us the opportunity for Thato to show us the features and explain the differences.
Yup, the toilet is my best friend before a show.
- Eric Carr, Musician
Did you know that Black Rhinos are browsers and their midden is brighter than that of White Rhinos, which are grazers?
Stay tuned fort the next episode on 11 February when we our spa therapist Hloni presents Rhulani's new Massage Special:"Soul of Africa Treatment".
