The rhino mother and calf ASSAM, INDIA INCREDIBLY RARE shots from just two feet away show a greater one horned rhino practising its selfie-skills.
These incredible camera trap shots present the extremely rare opportunity to see a rhinoceros up close and personal, even making the texture of their skin visible.
These images were captured by Assistant Vice President Banker Hema Palan (42) from Mumbai, India.
Hema captured the rhinos on her Nikon D500, Lens: Tokina Fish Eye Lens in Manas National Park, Assam, India.
“The rhinos were photographed at Manas National Park, Assam, India which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site,” said Hema. "Located on the foothills of Himalayas, Manas National Park is one of the most spectacular sanctuaries in India known for its great variety of wildlife including Indian rhinoceros. “We came across rhinos at the open grasslands adjoining one of the anti-poaching camps at the park.
“The mother and baby often grazed there and visiting the spot for a couple of days, got me the rhinos the way I wanted them to be.
“I was at about 66 feet from the subject and the manual trap camera I had setup was less than two feet.
“Rhinos do like to graze like this most of the time. You almost always find them grazing, they are normally quite peaceful animals if not instigated.
“It is always an ecstatic experience when animals allow you to get close that shows their trust. "I was happy that the rhinos were just curious about the shutter noise of the camera and let me make the images.
“The camera trap images with mother rhino and its calf are rare . The image shows the calf at a bugs eye view and the images are taken with fish eye lens which shows the calf in a grand manner
“For the rhino images I like that I could get a ‘bugs eye’ view of the animals as such perspectives are rarely seen. It also helps me depict them in a grand manner which they truly are.”
