The muzzle is rounded and unwrinkled. In adults, body color is generally dark gray or brown. When feeding, the animal moves in a zig-zag fashion, sampling the potential food items in sight before it takes in mouthful quantities. These rhinos take in fruits, twigs, and bark. Favored foods, such as wild mangoes, bamboos, and figs are preferred.
Rhinos get minerals, mainly sodium and calcium, from drinking from salt springs.
Daily food consumption in adults averages 50 kilograms. Reproduction Due to their private habits, the mating period of this species is not known. However, it is well known that most births occur from October to May, the months of heaviest rainfall. Gestation period is estimated to be 12-16 months. During the first few days after birth, the young is hidden in dense vegetation near salt licks while the mother browses.
