The white rhino is the largest of all rhinos and the heaviest of all land animals, after the elephant. Today, poaching in the service of the illegal rhino horn trade essentially threatens the species.
This sculpture by Claire Crétu is a tribute to the white rhinos of Africa. This bronze sculpture was made at the Bocquel foundry located in Grainville-Ymauville in Normandy, France. The total weight of this white rhinoceros is 20 kg.
