Cattle Egret and Rhino, India, 1997

A cattle egret alights on a rhinoceros.

"Rhino horn is used in traditional Chinese medicine, and a single horn can bring more than [U.S.] $8,000 on the black market. ... Between 1989 and 1993, 266 rhinos in India were butchered for their horns."

—From "Making Room for Wild Tigers," December 1997, National Geographic magazine
