12. Rhino and Goat Buddies


Clover, an 11-month-old female rhino calf, and Bok-Bok, a young goat, eat at the
Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve northwest of Johannesburg on May 13, 2005.

Clover, who was orphaned in the wild when her mother was slain by poachers has a constant companion in Bok-Bok, who was also lonely and abandoned.

The pair of orphans have formed an unlikely bond although horns and a love for horse pellets are about the only things they have in common.
