■About white rhinoceros
The white rhinoceros is the second largest creature after elephants among mammals that live on land. There are two subspecies of white rhinoceros, the southern white rhinoceros and the northern white rhinoceros, but only the southern white rhino population can survive. The wild white rhinoceros is extinct due to poaching, and only two females are kept.
White rhinoceros lives in long-grass and short-grass savannas. They are herbivores, and their broad square upper lip makes them suitable for eating grass. Their skin color is gray, with hair growing only on their ears, tail, and eyelashes, and a distinct bump on their back. There are two horns at the tip of the nose, usually the corner at the tip of the nose is much larger than the one on the forehead.
Their body is covered with sparse hair all over and has reddish-brown skin.
