White Rhinoceros

The white rhinoceros is a large African rhinoceros recognized by its broad, square-shaped mouth and two horns. It feeds mainly on grasses, using its wide lips to crop low vegetation. Its body is gray rather than white, despite its common name. White rhinos favor open grasslands with access to water and resting cover. Females may gather with calves or other adults, while mature males can defend territories. Mud wallows and shaded resting places are important parts of their daily routine.
