To have it situated on a piece of road in the context of roadkill must demonstrate quite nicely the mostly opportunistic feeding behaviour of the devils.

Its good, but I think its Black Rhinos...
It is a very entertaining goat, however.
Thanks for flagging up, I don't know why I labelled it as white rhinos, the horns and lips in particular are obviously that of black rhino.
Or perhaps I should've given it a score of 0 out of 5 for being a very unrealistic looking white rhino instead

@Benosaurus It's probably just the perspective, but it looks like its bipedal and has a really thin waistline, like some furry anthro.
It's definitely a very weird looking white tiger that's for sure.
