Photo of the day: A wandering rhino

Not to be confused with RINO :)
The source has this caption: "WRONG JUNGLE: A one-horned Rhino takes refuge near high-voltage electric posts inside the flooded Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary in Morigaon district of Assam. Photo: Ritu Raj Konwar"

BTW, the reason for this rhino movement: heavy rains in India's northeast, which includes the Kaziranga National Park.  The wild Brahmaputra River becomes even wilder. An interesting name for a river, in the sense that while normally in India the rivers mostly (always?) have female names, this one is masculine: "putra" means son.
