Rhinoceros (Black)
On
The black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) is a critically endangered and iconic species of Africa’s savannahs, woodlands, and arid bushlands. Although smaller than the white rhino, it remains an imposing animal. Adults typically stand about 1.4–1.7 m (4.6–5.6 ft) at the shoulder. They usually weigh between 800–1,400 kg (1,760–3,090 lb). Males are generally larger than females.
