Indian Rhinoceros Marsh Mist Dawn

Thick gray ground fog pools in the low marshland, obscuring the waterline where a massive Indian rhinoceros stands. The animal's folded gray skin, thick and plate-like, absorbs the soft, diffused light of nautical dawn. Pale green reeds rise from the misty water around the rhino's legs, their tips glistening with moisture. The horizon blurs into a hazy white where the tidal inlet meets the sky. The creature remains motionless, its small ear twitching slightly against the stillness. one drop of water rests on the edge of a reed, reflecting the pale gray sky.
