This population, however, has recently been severely threatened by political conflict and instability. The white rhino, which is actually gray, has a pronounced hump on the neck and a long face. It has a thick, hairless, gray hide. Both the black and white rhino have two horns, the longer of which sits at the front of the nose. Habitat Black rhinos have various habitats, but mainly areas with dense, woody vegetation.
White rhinos live in savannas with water holes, mud wallows and shade trees.
Behavior Rhinos live in home ranges that sometimes overlap with each other. Feeding grounds, water holes and wallows may be shared. The black rhino is usually solitary. The white rhino tends to be much more gregarious. Rhinos are also rather ill-tempered and have become more so in areas where they have been constantly disturbed.
