Black Rhinoceros
Diceros bicornis
Adult black rhinoceroses live in African savannas, shrublands, and dry forests where dense cover and browse are available. They are mostly solitary browsers, using a pointed, prehensile upper lip to strip leaves, twigs, and shoots from woody plants. When threatened, an adult may face the danger, snort, swing its head, or charge with its two horns. Despite their heavy build, black rhinoceroses can run surprisingly fast over short distances.
