African Rhinocerotidae – Rhinos are the second largest land mammals in the world, surpassed only by the elephant in its bulk and weight. They have relatively short, powerfully muscled legs, a short neck and massive head armed with nasal horns. These ‘prehistoric looking’ animals are a definite must see on any safari. There are 5 rhino species in existence today, with 3 occurring in Asia, and 2 species, the Black and White rhino found exclusively in Africa.
