#Birds are indeed a fascinating component of our day-to-day life on this planet - #Earth. Different #ecosystems, we get diversity of birds. The color combinations among birds are so mindboggling. Some of them carry the symbol of fly without border. Let's help save birds and their #habitats.

Always excited to watch activities of mother and her calf #GreaterOneHorned #Rhino in the wild. They communicate with each other well. Mother rhino is always #protective in nature when the calf is around. If an unknown rhino comes close to the calf, the mother rhino immediately takes away the calf.
