Do the big guys here look familiar? This is the deep-rooted Rhino Officer in Zootopia. Proud on the surface, gentle in heart, today Xiaobian will take you to know a different rhinoceros!
Meet the White Rhinoceros ·
There are 5 types of rhinos: white rhino, black rhino, Sumatran rhino, Indian rhino and Javan rhino. Today Xiaobian will talk about the white rhinoceros!
White rhinos can be divided into two subspecies, the northern white rhinoceros and the southern white rhinoceros, and the southern white rhino is mainly distributed in South Africa, Uganda, Namibia, Zimbabwe and other countries, with about 20,000 remaining heads. As of 2018, only two white rhinos remain, both of which are female. This also declares the extinction of the subspecies inevitable.
The white rhinoceros, also known as the square-kissed rhinoceros and the broad-nosed rhinoceros, is large and powerful, with a peculiar shape, and is the second largest rhinoceros in existence. The white rhino is the most evolved, intelligent and late emerging of the extant rhinos, with the highest intelligence among the extant rhinos, with a brain weight of about 360 grams.
White rhinoceros is not white ·
Many people will mistakenly think that the white rhino is an albino rhinoceros, but this is not the case, and the white rhino is blue-gray or brown-gray, and "white" is not related, just like the black rhinoceros, it is not completely black.

The name white rhino comes from the Dutch word "weit", meaning "wide", for their wide lips, it was later mistakenly called "white", so it was called "white rhinoceros", also known as "square-billed rhinoceros".
Moreover, the body color of the white rhino is actually not very different from the black rhinoceros, and the difference is mainly in the relatively large body size and the wide lips.
Myopia?·
Rhinos have very poor vision and are short-sighted, and they can't be detected until people or other things are in front of them, so when rhinos see people or other objects, they usually charge in self-defense.
·Homemade "sunscreen clothing" ·
Rhinos have thick skin, but they are very sensitive to sunburn and mosquito bites, which is why rhinos always like to roll in the mud field, when the mud is dry, it will form a protective layer to protect the skin of rhinos from sunburn and mosquito bites.
