BLACK RHINOCEROS
BY: RHY$
Features
I'm 1.3 to 2 meters tall and can weigh
3600 kg,that's about the size of a
truck. I am dark yellowy brown dark
or browny- gray, I like to have mud
on me to. I am the largest land
animal after the elephant. I have two
big horns on my head and I have
hooked lips for eating too. My horns
are made of similar material to
human hair and finger nails. Our
horns can grow back. Did you know
that rhino means nose and ceros
means horn?
Habitat
Did you know you can find
me in
grassland,savannas,
shrublands and deserts
wallowing in mud or
water? I do not migrate. I
don't change location
much.
What do you eat?
I only eat plants,that
means I'm a herbivore.
I also like to eat
trees,bushes and
fruits. I use my hooked
lips to pluck off leaves.

How are you born
I develop in my
mother's womb,my
gestation period is 455
days. It takes 15
minutes for me to be
born.
How do you take care of your
offspring?
I drink my mother's milk
for about 1 year,I can eat
vegetation 1 week after!
And I can stand 1 hour
after birth.

Who are your natural enemies?
Well,I only have 2
natural enemies. When
I feel weak sometimes
lions try to attack me. I
can get stuck in mud
and get mauled by
hyenas. I can charge
at 12 km per hour to
protect myself. When I
charge I put my head
down and gallop.
Are you endanger

Sadly,from you people
I have become
endangered you shoot
me for my horns. On
purpose! You believe
that my horn can be
turned into medicine
