The origin of the name white is in the past and comes from the Boers, who first saw the white rhino in South Africa. They eveidently saw it coming from some mudbath, covered in greyish or whitish mud. The name witte rhenoster, which they gave to this species, has unfortunately stuck in many languages, although square-mouthed rhino would be more appropriate.
