| Quotes from Lefebvre, Petit and Dillon, 'Voyage en Abyssinie' that there are several rhinoceros species in Abyssinia. There are those which have to, three and four horns, that is certain. It is less certain that there are those with five or six horns, but we are assured of the same. |

White Rhino

| Regarding the colour of the rhinoceros, this is often confusing, even when the animal is quite close, because they wallow in dirt in the hot and dry season, which, when dried up, sticks on the skin and gives the animals a bright grey colour. |
