White Rhinoceroses

White Rhinos are the second largest land mammal after the elephant. Rhino is not the scientific name it is Rhinoceroses and comes from Afrikaans. There are only 5 species of Rhinos 2 in Africa and 3 in Asia and their group name is called crash.

White and black rhinos are actually grey even though they are called black and white rhinos. An adult white rhino is the same height as a Asian elephant at 2.5 m-4m and weigh 500 kg-2500kg. Rhinos horn grow 3 inches a year and most ever was 5 feet. The horn is not actually connected to their skull and they have squared lips.

White rhinos live in northern and southern Africa and both northern white rhinos are female.

Since rhinos have square lips they can pluck leaves and fruit off trees. Female white rhinos use their horn to protect and males use it to fight. Rhinos actually have a very good hearing and smell. Some rhinos can reach upto the speed of 40km per hour. I have learnt alot about white rhinos and I think people should stop killing the rhinos so they can live like they used to.
