Hluhluwe Game Reserve Video Details After St Lucia we headed west to the Hluhluwe Game Reserve to spot some different game. The white rhino or square-lipped rhino are the largest species of rhino that exists. It has a wide mouth used for grazing and is the most social of the species. The name originates from a mistranslation from Dutch to English. The Dutch word "wijd", which means "wide". The word "wide" refers to the width of the rhinoceros' mouth. So early English-speaking settlers in South Africa misinterpreted the "wijd" for "white" and the rhino with the wide mouth ended up being called the white rhino. Go figure. The giraffe is another large mammal that lives on the African savanna. It is also a walking restaurant to the tickbird. The bird eats the ticks, and the host is relieved of blood-sucking, disease-carrying parasites. Time to check into our rondavel. A rondavel (an Afrikaans word) is a westernized version of the African-style hut. The next day we continued driving and game spotting. The African buffalo or Cape buffalo is a large African bovine (grass eater). Due to its unpredictable nature, which makes it highly dangerous to humans, it has never been domesticated. That night as we drove back to our rondavel, we were stopped by a large bull elephant crossing the road. Why did it cross the road? To get to the other side naturally. The next day we decided to use one of the many hides for observation. Who is hiding from whom I wondered? We spotted shiny rock know as a rhino rubbing stone. The repeated rubbing by rhinos over time causes the stone to become polished. The warthog’s name comes from the four large, wart-like humps found on its head. As you can see it is an omnivore (and as ugly as most vegans;-).
