White Rhino

Yes, he really was THAT close.

 

The white and black rhinoceroses of Africa, as well as the Sumatran rhinoceros, all have two horns in tandem. The Indian and Javan rhinoceroses have only one.

 

The white rhinoceros is the largest of the five species weighing 1,800 – 2,700 kilograms (4,000 – 6,000 pounds) and standing 1.5 – 1.8 meters (5 – 6 feet) at the shoulder. Among terrestrial mammals, it is only surpassed in size by the African and Asian elephant.
