A white rhino grazes at the end of the day in Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya. The main difference between the white rhino and the black rhino (other than there are a lot more of the white in existence) is the shape of the mouth. The black rhino has more of a pointed lip for picking fruit off of bushes, whereas the white rhino has a flat, wide lip more suited for grass feeding. In fact, another name for the white rhino is the square-lipped rhinoceros. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 310mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/250th of a second.
