About White Rhinoceros:

The White Rhinoceros is the second-largest land animal after the elephant, weighing up to 5,000 pounds and standing 5-6 feet tall at the shoulder! Despite the name, white rhinos aren't actually white—they're grey. The name comes from the Afrikaans word 'wyd' (wide), referring to their wide, square-shaped mouth adapted for grazing on grass. This distinguishes them from black rhinos, which have pointed, hooked lips for browsing on bushes. White rhinos have two horns made of keratin (the same material as human fingernails), with the front horn growing up to 5 feet long! They're generally peaceful, social animals that live in groups called 'crashes.' White rhinos have poor eyesight but excellent hearing and sense of smell. They can run up to 30 mph despite their size! Sadly, white rhinos are threatened by poaching for their horns. Conservation efforts have helped southern white rhino populations recover, but northern white rhinos are functionally extinct with only two females remaining. These magnificent animals are symbols of conservation efforts worldwide!
