WILDLIFE GALLERY - Rhinos
Rhinos
are usually solitary as adults. The most stable association is
that of a mother and calf which are usually found within a well
defined home range. Black rhinos, which can be seen in Tanzania,
are browsers and have pointed prehensile lips adapted for
browsing off thorny shrubs. They feed at night, dawn, and dusk,
resting during the heat of the day. They have a good sense of
hearing and smell (scenting over several km) but their sight is
poor at more than 30 metres. Rhinos weigh up to 1600 kgs and can
live up to 40 years. Rhinos are an endangered species, but can
easily be observed in the Ngorongoro Crater and possibly in the
Selous Reserve.
