White Rhinoceros

Larger and heavier than the black rhinoceros, the white rhinoceros stands six feet at the shoulder and weighs four tons. The largest land mammal after the elephant, the white rhino lives in southern Sudan and in South Africa. Less aggressive than the black rhino, it rarely charges but will engage in combat during the mating season. Like its cousin the black rhino, the white rhino has poor eyesight but acute hearing. Males are solitary by nature, but females with calves may be seen in groups. Females have one calf after seventeen to eighteen months of gestation.

One of the most endangered species in the world, thanks principally to heavy poaching, only about four thousand survive, mostly in game preserves and parks, in a fraction of their former range.
