Black Rhino |
Black rhinoceros vocalise in a number of ways, the most commonly heard being the repeated loud snort given when the individual gets a fright or is angry. They grunt and growl when fighting and may squeal or scream loudly.
The cow calls the calf by emitting a highpitched mew, while the calf, if it has strayed, calls the cow with a bellowing squeal.
