Rhinoceros and Baby at Lion Country Safari

Exotic Wildlife

Southern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum)
Weighing three tons, the southern white rhinoceros is the largest rhinoceros and the third largest land animal.  Once endangered because of overhunting, the white rhinoceros population has increased because of many well-protected parks and reserves.  It must take mud baths daily to protect its skin from sunburn and insects.
