White Rhino
|
| His square superior lip facilitates him to hold the herbs which it cuts off easily. He browses more than the black rhinoceros and eats less foliage. It is a fact which one can see in the dung that he deposits in heaps in one place that he frequents and doesn't go too far away from. |

Black Rhino
