Did You Know?

Thick Skin
Rhinos have thick skin that can be up to 2 inches thick. This skin helps protect them from thorns, insects, and the sun.

Keratin
A rhino's horn is made of keratin, the same material that makes up human hair and nails. Some rhinos have two horns, while others have one.

Social and Solitary
White rhinos are more social and can be seen in groups, while black rhinos and other species are generally solitary.

Endangered
Rhinos are endangered due to poaching and habitat loss. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect these magnificent creatures.

Poor Vision
Rhinos have poor eyesight but excellent senses of smell and hearing. They can detect predators and other threats from far away.

Fast Runners
Despite their large size, rhinos can run at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour for short distances.
