Sad but true fact: only two northern white rhinos remain in the world. While members of the southern subspecies are more numerous, both animals have seen their numbers depleted by poachers seeking their ivory. We’re not told which subspecies David Manfred‘s LEGO model belongs to, but his tribute to this endangered beast is a marvelous sight nevertheless. Prepare to be impressed by the layers of bricks stacked to get the rhino’s body just right, or the interlocking wedge plates that form the head, or the arch piece used for a nostril. And here’s a less sad but true fact: according to the builder, the inside of the rhino model is filled not with standard LEGO bricks, but with much-larger Duplo bricks to save money. All in all, both the model and the animal itself are majestic specimens.
