We observed Rhinos feeding voraciously on Flemingia lineata, a small shrub. Even plants partially burnt black and apparently totally dry were plentifully eaten. This is the only non-grass species we could directly observe during the actual process of eating. The prehensile upper lip is very handy in manipulating such shrubs and clumps of tall grasses.
