good shot.
This is what they are used to in the wild, or hotter still! They spend all the hottest hours of the day during the dry season immersed like this.
 
He? never moved at all, so relaxed and content, does the lack of plateing on their bellies help cool them down?

She. Quite possibly but I don't know. They often sink down in deep water so only the head and spine of back are visible.
 
Thats a good sized horn for a captive rhino in the past Indian rhinos at Whipsnade have rubbed them down almost to nothing, maybe the bigger paddocks help?

Possibly. This is one of the two breeding females(from Nepal) I can never remember which is which namewise but this one has a distinctive longer horn- the other doesn't though.
