ยค Umkohu | Black Rhino | Female| Savannah | Tags; Anastacia ยค
In a Savannah such as this water was a coveted resource, its sources considered a 'neutral ground' between both predator and prey. None would dare attack one another in a setting such as this, lest they risk serious harm or being chased off the next time they were in need of a drink of some sort. And so, it was with this in mind that Umkohu currently kept herself submerged in the water, her head just barely peeking above, much akin to the basking habits of hippos. It wasn't unheard of for black rhinos such as herself to do this, and, given the current temperature, she found a fair amount of relief in such a simple pleasure as keeping cool. She knew that crocodiles, on occasion, could be found in watering holes such as this, but, having never encountered one, she settled for simply staying close to the shore.
How long she had been in there she couldn't say, but she had seen several other animals come and go already. A fair majority of these were prey animals such as herself - gazelles, zebras, and so on so forth. Going an entire day neither seeing nor smelling hide nor hair of a predator would have made her day, but, unfortunately, Umkohu was not of the particularly lucky persuasion, erring more along the side of 'unfortunate' in a fair majority of situations. As such, it couldn't be called a pleasantry nor a surprise when a canine of some sort - she could never be bothered to remember the varieties, as they were all equally terrible to her - came up to the watering hole, covered from head to toe in filth. Her instincts screamed to chase off the ratty little pest, but, at the same time, being truly comfortable such as she had been was a rarity... Maybe, just this once, she could afford to be a little lax in her intimidation. After all, hippos managed to do such things perfectly, didn't they?
Umkohu doesn't have to lift her head much further to speak, but she does take advantage of what movement she does need to bring her two horns into clear view. "You. Dog."
