Poaching of rhinos for rhino horn is still a huge threat, and the poachers have got increasingly better equipped. When angered, the Rhinoceros can be aggressive and has been known to charge (and for a bit of interesting trivia, a group of rhinos is called a crash ironically enough). However recently white rhino numbers have been declining due to a surge in poaching, with 15,942 remaining in the wild today. Sadly there are no individuals from the ‘northern’ subspecies of white rhinos left in the wild, and only a handful in captivity.įor the black rhino (slightly smaller, with a more pointed top lip) the worst period was between 19, when around 96% of them were lost to wide-scale poaching. The Rhinoceros or Rhino is one of the biggest and extremely primitive looking mammals, so it hints at primal energies and raw power. We’ll first uncover what the phrase means and why it can be insidious if left to the wrong hands or mindset. But the phrase has far more nuance than this. Choose (I am choosing to feel) joy (a sense of happiness amid my circumstances).

The ‘southern’ subspecies of white rhinos is a conservation success story and had been helped back from under 100 in 1895 to over 20,000 individuals. The phrase choose joy may seem straightforward. Poaching of rhinos for their horns and habitat loss are huge threats to both white and black rhinos. You should always remember that the strongest people are the kindest.

These totems also remind you that to be truly strong should be humbling. The rhinoceros is Africa’s armoured giant – like a tank on legs – and has been on our planet for millions of years. The rhinoceros is a massive and powerful animal revered and respected by many cultures throughout history. They encourage you to enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature, to revel in it, and find an unparalleled joy.
