I already have 2 or 3 postcards from different countries with rhinos, but I don't mind, I love them all! Hope they never go extinct

This postcard arrived from Australia sent by Helen
Chitwan National Park (formerly Royal Chitwan National Park) is the first national park in Nepal. It was established in 1973 and granted the status of a World Heritage Site in 1984. It covers an area of 932 km2 (360 sq mi) and is located in the subtropical Inner Terai lowlands of south-central Nepal in the districts of Nawalparasi, Parsa, Chitwan and Makwanpur.
The wide range of vegetation types in the Chitwan National Park is haunt of more than 700 species of wildlife and a not yet fully surveyed number of butterfly, moth and insect species.
The Chitwan National Park is home to at least 68 species of mammals. The "king of the jungle" is the Bengal tiger. Chitwan has the largest population of Indian rhinoceros in Nepal, estimated at 605 individuals out of 645 in total in the country. - in: Wikipedia
