White Rhino


AKA The square-lipped rhino
Height 1.5 - 1.8m
Weight 1,800 - 3,000kg

Rhino fact The white rhino was once on the brink of extinction with only around 50 individuals left in the wild!
Rhino fun fact Also known as the square-lipped rhino, thewhite rhino uses its flat, square lip to effectively cut and eat grass, as it is a grazer, and only eats ground vegetation (compared to the black rhino, which is a browser and uses its hooked lip to pick at bushes and low branches for food.)

This Rhino is one of the lucky ones at an age of 35years. It was a blessing to see this one in the wild.

Lets stop Poaching these beautiful creatures!
