| One of the most obvious characters that differentiates them is the square lips of C. simum (Fig. 295.1) and the hooked, prehensile upper lip of D. bicornis, which are adaptations to and in their feeding habits, and they may also be referred to in this way. |

| These findings for the black rhino stand in sharp contrast to the level and distribution of mtDNA differences reported for the white rhino. The southern white rhino, Ceratotberium simum simum, has recovered quite well from a population bottleneck that occurred at the turn of the century, and now... |
