While in the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya, we were lucky to see both species of African rhinoceros, the white and the black. The names are somewhat misleading, as the two species aren’t really distinguishable by color but by other physical traits. The white rhino is larger and has a wide, square upper lip as opposed to the more pointed or hooked lip of the black rhino. Because of this, they are sometimes commonly known as the square-lipped rhino and the hook-lipped rhino. Black rhinos are also more rare and are listed as critically endangered. One subspecies, the western black rhinoceros was declared extinct just last year.
