Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spot rare animals on jeep safari in India
The Duke and Duchess and Cambridge have enjoyed an early morning safari in India's Kaziranga National Park, on the fourth day of their official tour of India and Bhutan.
Both William and Kate were dressed casually in khaki trousers and light-coloured shirts for the trip, which saw the royal couple spotting rhino, water buffalo, swamp deer and rare bird species from the back of a jeep.
At one stage they found themselves stuck behind a rare one-horned rhino, exclaiming the experience as "amazing."
"This is amazing," Kate said. William added: "It's amazing to be this close."
The World Heritage Site in Assam is a wildlife conservation area of global importance and is home to elephants, water buffalo, the endangered swamp deer, tigers, and two-thirds of the world's population of Indian one-horned rhinoceroses.
William has been campaigning for a number of years to protect endangered animals and his visit to the park comes as ITV News footage shows the plight of rhino in India.
The pair met rangers who are protecting the park's wildlife and habitats and heard first hand about their work - including one man who told of being charged by rhino on several occasions.
The Duke and Duchess were presented with caps and traditional scarves before they set off on the safari.
After touring the centre they will visit the Kaziranga Discovery Park built by the Elephant Family, the charity founded by Mark Shand, the late brother of the Duchess of Cornwall, and see a first-of-its-kind health clinic for working elephants and an elephant information centre which is under construction.
