Rhinoceroses are big, herbivorous animals distinguished by their distinctive horned snouts. According to the San Diego Zoo, the wʜɪᴛe rhino is the largest rhino species. It can reach lengths of 12 to 13 feet (3.7 to 4 meters) with a shoulder to hoof length of up to 6 feet (1.8 meters). It is about 5,000 lbs. heavy (2,300 kilograms).
The Sumatran rhino is the tiniest type of rhino. It can reach lengths of 8 to 10 feet (2.5 to 3 meters) and a shoulder height of up to 4.8 feet (1.5 meters). The Sumatran rhino weighs about 1,765 lbs (800 kg).
The ɢʀᴀsslands and floodplains of eastern and southern Africa are home to both wʜɪᴛe rhinos and black rhinos. Greater one-horned rhinos live in northern Iɴᴅɪᴀ’s swamps and southern Nᴇᴘᴀʟ’s rain forests. Only a small portion of the Mᴀʟᴀʏsɪᴀn and Iɴᴅᴏɴᴇsɪᴀn swamps and rainforests have Sumatran and Javan rhinos.
Rhinos only sleep during the warmest hours of the day and spend their days and nights grazing. When they aren’t feeding, which is rare, they can be seen relaxing in a mud bath to cool off. These soaks also aid in pest protection for the animals, and the mud serves as a natural sunscreen.
Rhinos typically live alone, however they do occasionally form groups. These teams of a female and her progeny are known as crashes. An area of land is ruled by a dominating male. In his area, the dominant male will permit a few subdominant males to live. Females are free to move between several regions.
