African rhino

The African rhino refers to two species: the white rhino and the black rhino, both native to Africa. These large, herbivorous mammals have thick, protective skin and prominent horns made of keratin. White rhinos are the largest, known for their broad mouths used for grazing, while black rhinos have a pointed lip for browsing on shrubs. Both species face threats from poaching driven by demand for their horns, leading to critically low populations. Conservation efforts aim to protect these iconic animals, ensuring their survival for future generations.
