The so-called white rhino (Ceratotherium simus) is much the same colour as the black rhino, and I have seen some black rhinos actually lighter than they are. There is a great difference, however, between the two, the white rhino being much bigger and heavier, with a much bigger head even in proportion to the black rhino. It is not so pugnacious as the black rhino, and generally tries to avoid one whenever possible; but is not, however, to be played with, as many have found out to their cost in Equatorial Africa.
