The White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) is a grazer in the family Rhinocerotidae. It is recognized by its wide or squared mouth, indicating that it is a grazer. This is the second-largest land mammal and the largest in the Rhinocerotidae family. It inhabits eastern and southern grassland habitats and is divided into two species: northern and southern white rhinoceros. The white rhinoceros is very social with territorial males controlling a group of females and their calves. The gray-colored body is massive, head large, chest broad, and neck short. The snout has horn-like growth, with the horn close to the snout being the largest.

Rhinos, or Rhinocerotidae, are among the few large land animals facing extinction caused by poachers. There are three species–two living in Africa (open areas) and the other in south-central Asia (dense forest, savannah, and shrubby regions). A common feature in all rhinos is their one or two horns.
