In this blog post I will be discussing the Rhinoceros.
They live in Asia and South Africa. They are mammals and are herbivores. There are 5 species of rhinoceros, black, white, sumartran and Indian. They are on the endangered list. They like to live in savannahs, grasslands and subtropical forests. The sumartran is the smallest rhino at 2,200 lbs. The biggest rhino is the white rhino at 5,500 lbs. The rhino’s horn grows all it’s life. The rhino’s horn is used for Chinese medicine. They have poor vision but excellent smell. When they feel the threatened they charge. They are more active in the night than in the day. They can sleep lying down or standing up. They can run up to 30-40 miles per hour. A group of rhinos is called a clash.
This is the picture of a Rhinoceros. I found this picture on math.msu.edu.
