Rhino Facts

  • The word rhinoceros comes from two Greek words: rhino means nose, and ceros means horn.

  • South Africa is home to approximately 40% of the world’s total black rhino population.

  • A group of rhinos is called a crash. The San Diego Zoo Safari Park has the largest captive crash of rhinos, as well as the most successful captive breeding program for rhinos in the world.

  • A charging rhino can reach speeds of 30 mph and adult males can weigh up to 3000 pounds.

  • A rhino’s horn is made of thick matted hair, a substance similar to that of fingernails and hooves. Rhino horns can sometimes break off but can grow back.

  • Man is the adult rhino’s only natural predator as illegal poaching for the horns black market value has greatly decimated the population.

  • Baby rhino’s are protected by their mother from predators such as hyenas, crocodiles, and lions.

  • Rhinos may live up to 30 to 35 years in the wild and rarely 45 years in captivity.

  • An individual rhino territory can range from 25 to 100 acres. As habitat is destroyed, survival in the wild becomes increasingly difficult.

  • Black rhinos have a prehensile lip to strip leaves off bushes in contrast to the white rhino which has a long flat lip more suitable for grazing.

  • Black rhinos are actually dark grey appearance due to the dark-colored soil that covers its skin after wallowing in mud at a water hole.

  • The anterior horn of a black rhino can grow to a length of over four feet.

  • Black rhinos generally live within 15 miles of a water source, usually their favorite water hole.

  • When water is available, the rhino will drink everyday. Feeding occurs primarily in the early morning and evening and sleeping during the midday.
