The white rhino is the world's largest ungulates and synonymous with ferocity. As one of the largest land animals in the world today, the modern rhino can reach a shoulder height of 1.2-2 meters, a body length of 2.2-4.5 meters, equivalent to a small car, and weighs even more amazingly, can reach 3 tons.
The body size is second only to African elephant, African forest elephant and Asian elephant. White rhinos mainly inhabit tropical and subtropical areas, requiring living areas close to water and food areas, flat terrain with bushes for cover and rest.
Although the white rhino is very large, it has a very gentle personality and is rarely aggressive, but when competing for territory, male white rhinos will attack each other with their horns. White rhinos prefer to live in groups, and generally white rhino herds are composed of female rhinos and small rhinos, and most male rhinos are used to living alone. White rhinos have poor eyesight, so their daily search for food to avoid predators relies on a keen sense of hearing and smell, and they run very fast, up to 40 kilometers per hour.
Tens of thousands of huge white rhinos that once ran across the vast expanses of North Africa are now gone.
Although it is called a white rhinoceros, in fact, the whole body color is not snow-white but gray-white, and the classification of rhinos is not based on their body surface color, but the traits shown by different genes. Although it seems to us that rhinos all look similar, but for zoologists, a closer look will find that white rhinos have wider mouths, which allows them to bite more grass when eating, and it is no wonder that white rhinos will become the largest rhino species, and people eat more.
There are only two northern white rhinos left in the world, and they are both females, and their path has come to an end. Some biologists say that it has not yet reached the step of being completely unsavageable, and the northern white rhino is still saved! Before Sudan's death, scientists kept Sudan's DNA, hoping to one day clone and replicate the North African white rhino after conquering the technology. In addition, the only two remaining females are not completely useless.
It is also only a matter of time before white rhinos are included in the extinction list.
