In the Wild there is a non-stop symphony of sound. The orchestration shifts with the hour, the season, the weather, plus the resident population. There are infinite sources for sound, noise, music, etc., all of them engaging our attention.
We mention this because We Rhinos have extraordinary hearing, as nifty as our sense of scent. Amazing.
Here sits the happy Rhino, chewing and listening (and sniffing). What grabs her attention?, you ask. Answer: Silence. Silence is Nature’s five-star Alarm.
What will she do? She will figure out what caused the Silence. One thing to recall is that she is probably upwind of the problem, or she would have smelled the problem longsince.
Will she run away, as most sensible creatures would, or does she investigate to reestablish local serenity? Who can tell? The girl has options…

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an evocative visual representation of sound! Man, you are amazing!!

I LOVED the five-star alarm: SILENCE! For humans, I’m not sure about alarm, but silence is surely as FILLED with meaning as it is for rhinos. Surely, are more than is sound! Wonderful image!!!

Thank you. Elias and I discussed the representation of sound itself pretty thoroughly, and I tried various approaches. So I am happy this seemed satisfactory.

I was looking at the pictures again and a comment from the Weather Channel came to mind: Thunder as the music of the Sky. My inner Rhino has a little trouble hearing and enjoys thunder especially, since I can feel it as well. I bet rhinos can smell it too.
