African Black Rhino
S1 • E34 Dec 1, 2008
The Black Rhino is extremely temperamental and considered to be the more dangerous of the two rhino species. Black Rhinos are the smaller species of rhino and live predominantly in woodland areas. They way in which the black rhino protects its young also differs from the White rhino- When threatened the Black Rhino runs in front of her calf to make sure they take the best and safest route through the dense bush. The Black Rhino population has seen a rapid decline over the past few years due to poaching despite tireless conservation efforts.
