■About black rhinoceros
Black rhinos live in southern and eastern Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. There are two types of rhinos in Africa, black rhinos and white rhinos, but the smaller one is the black rhinoceros. Their most noticeable difference is the shape of the lips. The black rhinoceros has pointed lips pointing upwards, and the white rhinoceros has angular lips.
Black rhinoceros is a herbivore, but it feeds on the leaves and fruits of trees, shoots and shrubs, rather than lowland plants such as grasses. Its pointed lips help to pluck the leaves of bushes and trees. The black rhinoceros has two horns, but sometimes a third small horn grows. They live in very arid savannah zones, in open wooded areas and forests, in swampy areas.
Their body is covered with sparse hair all over and has reddish-brown skin.
