The Inspiration
From the Animal Series inspired by a trip to the San Diego Zoo with my daughter. Returning after several to the zoo, I felt it was time to continue the animal series. The animal series is not limited to wild animals, but all those that roam the earth.
Quick Fact
Rhino species go back 50 million years. Black rhinoceroses use a variety of sounds to convey emotion: snorts for anger, huffs for greetings and even confused squeaks. They also leave behind piles of pungent droppings to mark territory.
There are five species of rhinoceros: black, Indian, Javan, Sumatran and white. Somewhat confusingly, white rhinos aren't white and black rhinos aren't black -- all rhinos have grayish skin.
Conservation Status
