Rhinos

communicate using grunts, growls, snorts, squeaks and bellows

White rhinos are calmer and more sociable than other species of rhino, and they often live in small, territorial groups

They have poor eyesight, but acute senses of hearing and smell

White rhinos are not actually white but grey. They became known as white rhinos due to the misinterpretation of the Dutch word ‘wijde’ – meaning wide – used to describe the rhino’s mouth

They can weigh 2.5 tons, are up to 6ft high and can reach speeds of 30mph

The WWF reported that northern whites became extinct in the wild in 2008
