Rhinoceroses are a species I'd like to see in the wild....massive animals, them and elephants are basically the mammalian version of a dinosaur just gigantic, fleet afoot, massive strength...very impressive. Luckily White Rhinos are Not Threatened, the Indian Rhino is Vulnerable, however, Sumatran, Javan, and Black Rhinos are Critically Endangered.

Seeing animals in the wild, in their element....it's just the best thing ever, you feel graced by their presence...now i can only say that for bears, snakes, deer, bobcats, coyotes, alligators, hawks, eagles, etc...but still when you see an animal out doing it's thing there's not much better. The majority of the time I'm hunting I'm noticing OTHER animals than what I'm hunting for. Hell even when I caught that groundhog yesterday I took my time looking the animal over up close in the trap.


I've started thinking of planning trips out to various locals for the express purpose of seeing wildlife. I'd love to see bears, moose, elk, caribou, antelope, bison, and big horn sheep....oh seeing the head butting of big horn sheep live in person would be epic....granted I'm sure it's dangerous as they live in/on/around mountains, and if one of those sheep wants to knock noggins with you then you're going to be SOL because either you'll be killed by the impact (they hit that hard) or you'll fall off the side of a mountain in the middle of fucking nowhere. But hell seeing bears would be dangerous as well and I sure as shit don't want to go out the way "Grizzly Man" and his girlfriend did.


Seeing alligators in the wild is pretty fucking cool. They look so calm and relaxed even when they are swimming at a good clip...very graceful in the water.
