Other than being smaller than the White Rhino, probably the most obvious difference is the narrower mouth with its prehensile lip. As they are browsers they will use their prehensile lip to feed from trees and shrubs. They will drink daily if possible.

Black Rhinos have 2 horns with the largest at the front. They live in the dry savannahs of Africa.

The four other species of rhino are the White Rhino (Ceratotherium Simum), Indian Rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis), Javan Rhino (Rhinoceros Sondaicus) and Sumatran Rhino (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis).
