STAMPS: RHINOCEROS TOPICS (Page 5)

Previous page / "Stamps" menu / Next page

Five rhinoceros for one topic.

When you focus on this subject, you discover that there's not only one, nor only two, but five different sorts of rhinoceroses:

Black rhinoceros - Zambia Y&Tn°452
The black rhinoceros,

White rhino
The white rhinoceros,

Unicorn Indian rhino - India Y&Tn°
The Indian unicorn rhinoceros,

Java and Sumatra rhinoceros - Indonesia Y&Tn°
The Javan rhinoceros, and the Sumatran rhinoceros.

To be found on three continents ( Africa, Asia and Oceania* ), rhinoceros improve their chances to be seen on stamps, and that is without counting the numerous countries that issue "zoo" or "endangered species" stamps series.

* Indonesia isn't in Oceania, but I consider the geographical Oceania rather than the political one.

A topic that will enable its philatelic fans to "travel", for sure !!!
