 WHITE RHINO IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION
The white rhinoceros is the second largest land mammal on the planet.
Despite its impressive size, it is a very agile animal, capable of galloping at
high speed and turning while running.
It is solitary and has horns that are its most fearsome weapon. Antlers,
which is, however, the reason why hunting them is so coveted: popular
beliefs attribute aphrodisiac properties to them. Fortunately, however, it is
a protected species (hunting is currently prohibited).
It has good hearing and smell, but poor eyesight. None of the African rhinos
are actually white, but rather gray in color. In the case of the white
rhinoceros, the name comes from the word “wyt” (“white”, in Afrikaans,
which means “broad” and refers to the size of its lips and mouth). Males
and females are practically the same, although they have longer and
thinner horns.
They are distributed in the east and south of the African continent.
What are their customs?
One of his great hobbies is taking mud baths. This serves to protect itself
from insects, as well as to regulate its temperature. That is why it allows
birds to perch on its back, so that they can clean the hard skin that covers it,
lacking fur, of parasites.
It usually lives in open, dry forests, with good grasslands to feed on (bulbs,
grass and leaves: the basis of its diet).
With nocturnal habits, it is the most sociable of the rhinos and is grouped in
mother-calf pairs or in herds of up to seven young specimens.
Pregnancy lasts 18 months, and breastfeeding lasts one year (although the
baby rhino eats grass from the first weeks of life). The female's heat returns
after two years: it is then that the calf necessarily becomes independent,
since the mother has to mate again.
