Black Rhinoceros

Rhinos are covered in thick armor-like skin that protects them as they make their way through the brush. The Black Rhino has two horns. They live in woods filled with low growing trees, and eat plants such as leaves. Their eyesight is so poor that they sometimes do not notice things that are just 5 meters ahead of them. They are often accompanied by oxpeckers - birds that feed off insects living on the rhino's skin.
