  "account": "Five southern white rhinos and a few cattle egrets at Kenyan Solio Game Reserve reminded Indian wildlife photographer duo Preeti and Prashant Chacko of a rugby forward pack. The photograph, titled \"The Rugby Players\" and taken in black-and-white, has won the Epson Digital Art Prize at the 2026 Epson International Pano Awards, the world's largest panoramic photography contest. Southern white rhinos are usually calm grazers, but the moment the five rhinos charged forward, the egrets barely escaped. The duo likened the rhinos' look to a rugby team with heads down and weight committed. Such a rare sight at a game reserve, where Kenya's rhino population has been rebuilt without de-horning, any chaos feels like a miracle.",
