White rhinos live in savannas with water holes, mud wallows and shade trees. live in home ranges that sometimes Rhinos overlap with each other. Feeding grounds, water holes and wallows may be shared. The black rhino is usually solitary. The white rhino tends to be much more gregarious. Rhinos are also rather ill-tempered and have become more so in areas where they have been constantly disturbed.
Did you know? The black rhino declined drastically in the 1970s and 1980s due to poaching. To prevent extinction, many rhinos were Tran located to fenced sanctuaries in the early 1990s. This effort appears to be succeeding, as 1994 was the first time in 20 years that rhino numbers did not decline.
The closest rhino relationship is between a female and her calf, lasting from 2 to 4 years. As the older calves mature, they leave their mothers and may join other females and their young, where they are tolerated for some time before living completely on their own.
