| With an average body mass of > 1000 kg, rhinos spend > 1/3 of day (and much of night) eating, consuming up to 2.5% of body mass daily. Zoo studies quantified hay intake of black rhinos at 1.1 % or 1.6 % of body mass (14 and 21 kg for grass and alfalfa hay, respectively), whereas animals consumin... |
