People hunt them for their horn, which is thought in many places to have medicinal properties. although this is not true, they are still killed because a horn can be sold for a lot of money to people that still think it works. The feet are sometimes hollowed out, dried, and used as "decorative waste baskets" and the tail is chopped off and used as a fly swatter and sold to tourists or locals. the rest of the body will all go to waste and rot.

The white rhino is larger, and has a square upper lip, while the black rhino has a more pointed, prehensile lip for browsing on the twigs and leaves it eats. The white rhino is a grazer, feeding mainly on grasses. This is also why you will see the white rhino walking with its head closer to the ground. The black rhino usually have a more curved back compared to the white, which have a more straight line. From the behavior can you tell that a mother white rhino always will run behind the calf, and the black rhino will always run in front of the calf. It might be because the black rhino mother then can run down the bush for the calf since they live in thick bushlands.

In the Afrikaans language white is translated "wide" so the white rhino has a wide snout and a black rhino has a narrower snout.
