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