A rhino's horn is not a true horn that is attached to the skull. It grows from the skin and is made up of keratin fibres, the same material found in hair and nails.
Black rhinos have a prehensile lip that is used much like a finger to select and pick the leaves and twigs they prefer.
Black rhinos travel alone except while breeding or raising offspring. Juveniles remain with the mother until they are completely weaned just before a new baby is born.
Rhinos aren’t really bad tempered—they often charge because they are startled
A group of rhinos is called a “crash.”
Rhinoceros roll in mud so they don’t get sunburned.
A rhino dung pile can be 3 feet high!
