I must admit, I thought the species name was very well chosen in this regard.
And thanks

Glad you like it And it makes sense if you haven't seen them, according to wikipedia they're already extinct in the wild, so I'm guessing there's not too many left

Thank you! It was taken in a safari part of the park, out of our car window. Luckily we arrived when the park opened, so I didn't have trouble with other cars in the background, half an hour later and that would have been impossible.
Too bad this species is apparently already extinct in the wild

Thank you dear It was sad to learn though that this species is apparently fully extinct in the wild (at least that's what wikipedia said when I was searching the exact name).

You are welcome! And yes, it's sooooo sad. So many animals are gone because of human greed or stupidity....
