The White Rhinoceros or Square-lipped rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) is one of the five species of rhinoceros that still exist.

It has a wide mouth used for grazing and is the most social of all rhino species. White Rhinoceroses are found in grassland and savannah habitat.

Herbivore grazers that eat grass, preferring the shortest grains, the White Rhinoceros is one of the largest pure grazers.

White Rhinoceroses produce sounds which include a panting contact call, grunts and snorts during courtship, squeals of distress, and deep bellows or growls when threatened.

Threat displays (in males mostly) include wiping its horn on the ground and a head-low posture with ears back, combined with snarl threats and shrieking if attacked. The White Rhinoceros is quick and agile and can run 50 km/h (31 mph).

The White Rhinoceros is the world's largest land mammal after the three species of elephant. It has a massive body and large head, a short neck and broad chest.

The head and body length is 3.4 to 4.2 m (11 to 14 ft), with the tail adding another 37 to 71 cm (15 to 28 in). Shoulder height is 1.5 to 2 m (4 ft 10 in to 6 ft 7 in). Weight in this animal typically ranges from 1,360 to 3,630 kg (3,000 to 8,000 lb).

The male, averaging 2,300 kg (5,100 lb) is slightly heavier than the female, at an average of 1,700 kg (3,700 lb). The largest recorded White Rhinoceros was about 4,500 kg (9,900 lb).

On its snout it has two horn-like growths, one behind the other. These are made of solid keratin, in which they differ from the horns of bovids (cattle and their relatives), which are keratin with a bony core, and deer antlers, which are solid bone. The front horn is larger and averages 90 cm (35 in) in length, reaching as much as 150 cm (59 in).

This genus of fatty land creature, the hippo-elephant-rhino trio, is one that I never had respect for.

Still, this thread is 10/10, ISH Threads of the year by far.

When you actually stop and look at them, they're quite terrifying and alien looking.

You should do one of these every few days instead of every single day. It allows the other threads to breathe and get more hits. The Blue Wale one got completely passed over and that was one of the coolest animals.

I think you should do bald eagle to educate the ignorant posters of ISH more about its GOAT qualities.

It is called the greatest thing that ever flew for a reason.:rockon:
