Morphology
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. |

Black Rhino
|
| In the hot and dry season the rhinos wallow in mud. Probably they do this to rid themselves of flies and ticks, maybe at the same time to keep the hide soft. |
