Beware of the huge rhinoceros,
Even though he is herbivorous.
Right now, he looks calm,
Standing amidst the palms.
But when angry is quite dangerous.
PS..Those are not really palms but I couldn't think of a rhyming word.
My photo of a rhino statue in an airport

Good photo . I wouldn't be able to smile do calmly as Vince .That was very close indeed.
Our state animalis the rhino ,so seen many but at safe distance in national.parks.
During the flood season they have been seen lumbering along the main road after being washed up

@responsiveme This one's mother was washed away. They both were but authorities managed to save the young one. I don't think he was quite as close as he appears.

@responsiveme They are big animals, but not as big as an elephant.

I've never seen statues like this in American airports before. You may have to go to India to see this type of decoration.

@MarshaMusselman the airports here do have good decorations ,showcasing the region.
I particularly like ones which have lots of flowering and green plants

Yeah I would be far away from them so they did not feel intimidated. What if they attack us because they feel sort of invaded by us?

You could have put Limerick as a tag too. Pretty fine job with difficulty words. At least the plant are reminiscent of palms. I'm wondering whether hasn't saw this so I'm calling her here. I looked a bit but that may take awhile.
