Did you know camels aren’t the only animals with humps? Rhinos have one too! The large mass found at the back of a #rhino's neck is a mass of strong muscles and ligaments supporting the animal's large head, which tends to be held low to the ground. Happy #hump day, everyone!

Literally, just hanging out. #leopard #bigcats #cats

Can you guess which animal this patterned fur belongs to? A little clue: they are big felines that are probably faster than a typical house cat! #bigcat #cat #wildlife #feline
