Bigger and bulkier than the Black Rhino, the White Rhino is the world's heaviest non marine mammal after the Elephant, weighing upto 7,937 lbs. They have an elongated head and two horns on the snout, the front horn is longer than the back one. The mouth is square and wide, this is because it is a grazer and eats grass, especially short grass.

The male is heavier than the cow.  They are found on the grass plains with open marshes and a supply of water. They live in small groups consisting of a territorial bull, other bulls(tolerated by him), cows and young ones. A territorial bull sprays urine and defecates in latrines along boundaries as a way of marking it's territory. Only the territorial bull urinates by spraying through its hindlegs, the other bulls urinate normally. The territories of territorial bulls become larger in the dry season, while the home ranges of cows overlap. Poor eyesight but acute sense of hearing and smell. The calf usually walks in front of the mother.

We saw the White Rhino in the Lake Nakuru National Park.
