The article that was posted said ~17ft and ~1 ton, roughly i would say this is around where the animals' size lays

Yeah i converted ft to yards instead of meters, and even then that would by 5.66yds..... my bad. any way as far as i know 17ft and 1 ton is an estimate, the animals wasn't actually measured(again AFAIK). It's likely to be around the 6m mark. Whatever the true size of the animalis, it is gigantic

This black rhino decided to go for a dip and spent nearly an hour wallowing in the pool.

The waterhole was fed from a bore hole and in this picture the rhino is standing over the outflow, where the freshest drinking water was. This elephant knew where the spot was too and easily won out in the standoff that followed.
