Description

Picture taken during a visit to Lion Country Safari in Loxahatchee, Florida.

From lioncountrysafari.com:

"Southern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum)

Lion Country Safari is proud to be a part of the SSP (Species Survival Plan) of this endangered species, and many white rhinos have been born on our preserve since 1977. In the wild, rhinos have been hunted for their horns. Instead of being composed of bony material, rhino “horns” are made of fibers of keratin, a protein also found in our human hair and fingernails. White rhinos get their name from the Afrikaans word “wyde,” meaning wide, or square-lipped. Their color is actually stone-gray, not white as their name suggests."
