Do you have great photos of rhinos or African elephants in the wild? Would you like to have them featured in the cover of Pachyderm? If interested, email us low-resolution versions of the photo, together with a short description and details on the location where the photo was taken. If your photo is selected for publication, we will ask you for a hi-resolution version. We can't offer financial remuneration, but authors of featured photos will receive a free copy of the issue of Pachyderm in which their photo is published.
