• Smaller ears (Better eyesight, does not need to rely on hearing as much)

• Long front horn and shorter second horn

- White

• Grazers (eat grass and shrubs on the ground)

• Flat wide lip (to pull large amounts of grass from the ground)

• Considerably larger than the white rhino, they are approximately double the weight (2.5 tons)
