Rhino

This morning I was thinking, maybe I will post about an animal that I have good pictures of. I have seen both white and black rhinoceros on safaris in Africa. Here is a picture of a white rhinoceros in Nakuru National Park in Kenya. Being a white rhino doesn't have to do with it's skin color, it is actually from a misinterpretation from the Afrikaans word that means wide for it's wide mouth. Likewise the black rhinoceros is not named for its color but rather to distinguish it from the name of the white rhino. Here is a black rhino in Etosha National Park in Namibia.
Even though in these two pictures the black rhino looks darker there is really no general difference in coloring. Though you can't see it in the picture the black rhino actually has a prehensile top lip, they are also known as the hook-lipped rhino.
