What is the difference between black rhino and white rhino?
The white rhino is larger, and has a square upper lip, while the black rhino has a more pointed, prehensile lip for browsing on the twigs and leaves it eats. The white rhino is a grazer, feeding mainly on grasses. This is also why you will see the white rhino walking with its head closer to the ground. The black rhino usually have a more curved back compared to the white, which have a more straight line. From the behavior can you tell that a mother white rhino always will run behind the calf, and the black rhino will always run in front of the calf. It might be because the black rhino mother then can run down the bush for the calf since they live in thick bushlands. The white rhino shows social behaviour, while the black rhino is mostly solitary and more aggressive. In the Afrikaans language white is translated "wide" so the white rhino has a wide snout and a black rhino has a narrower snout.
Is the black rhino really black?
No. The color is basically muddy grey. The main differences between the white and black rhino is that the black rhino is a bit smaller and has pointed lips.

In Afrikaans "wide" (referring to its wide, flat mouth) sounds fairly similar to "white", so in English it became the white rhino. Whether the other rhino is actually darker, or got called "black" just because of symmetry reasons, no noe really knows.
