Here's a picture of the famous Black Rhino 'Gertie' of Kenya's Amboseli National Park, that's before her horn dropped off in the 1960s.

Weird how a non-zoo animal can grow such a distended horn without it getting broken or something.
 
Regrettably her horn did become detached :(

I wonder where the horn went, is it with the warden's family or possibly the ranger station ??

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,
