Upside-down Rhino?

    Rhino?

    Anyone else think this looks like an upside-down rhino? Or perhaps the camera is upside-down?

    Might be a rhino. The texture of the skin reminds me of an elephant though, but the legs might be a bit too thin for that.

    That looks more like a horn than a leg to me.

    Was it from a sequence?
    It actually looks like a tree to me. Like the camera has been knocked down and is looking up at a tree.

    The only other image in the sequence is identical. You could be right, I hope it is a tree!

    I believe this is site J08 -- I placed it on this great tree with really prominent roots...but I remember struggling to keep the camera NOT pointed towards the tree, as hyenas and elephants like to knock it over! (so, yep, i think it's a tree!)
