■ 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, the black rhino and the white rhinoceros, but the smaller one is the black rhinoceros. Their most noticeable difference is the shape of the lips. The black rhino has pointed lips pointing upwards, while the white rhino has angular lips.
Although black rhinos are herbivores, they feed on leaves, fruits, shoots and shrubs of trees, not low-lying plants such as grasses. Its pointed lips help to pluck the leaves of bushes and trees. Black rhinos have two horns, but sometimes a third small horn grows. They inhabit very dry savannahs, open woodlands and forests, and swampy areas.
Their body is covered entirely with sparse hairs and has reddish-brown skin.
