These huge animals can weigh over 3 tons – more than a minibus! They live in the open grassland in Africa. You can tell the White Rhinos from the Black ones as the White Rhinos have square lips and the Black Rhinos have pointy lips.
Rhinos are very rare as they are hunted for their horns. The horns are made of Keratin which is actually just the same stuff as your hair and fingernails are made of.
Wild Challenge! Can you remember what the difference is between a White and a Black Rhino?
