rhino shadows

"The southern white rhino is the largest of all rhino species. These heavy bodied and short legged animals weigh more than the average pickup truck. They have a very large head that is supported by a huge muscle mass that forms a hump over their shoulders. White rhinos have two horns, with the front horn much longer than the back horn. Their ears are fringed in coarse hairs and seem to be constantly in motion. Their mouth is wide and flat and is well adapted for a grazing lifestyle. At the end of the 19th century the southern white rhino was considered extinct, but a small population numbering around 50 animals was discovered in South Africa. With intense protection the southern white rhino came back from the edge of extinction and is now considered to be the most numerous species of rhino left in the world. Most of the approximately 15,000 southern white rhinos are restricted to game reserves and national parks where their safety can be carefully monitored."
