White rhinos are herbivores but that probably doesn't help much since a lot of animals are also herbivores; they eat short grass (about 20 inches). Mainly, they eat a grass called panicum but they eat other grasses such as pennisetum, urochloa, and digiteria. They will carefully avoid unpalatable grasses. The food that they eat is low in energy, so they eat for long periods of the day. A rhino will eat between 27-37 lb. (60-80 kg) a day and will spend about 50% of its daylight hours feeding. Sometimes they are seen eating soil, particularly around termite mounds where they obtain certain minerals not otherwise available to them.

What are the eating habits of rhinos?

Rhinos are herbivores, primarily grazing on grass, leaves, and shrubs. There are five species, each with distinct preferences: white rhinos favor grasses, while black rhinos prefer bushes and trees. Indian rhinos consume grasses and fruits, while Sumatran and Javan rhinos eat a mix of leaves and fruits. Rhinos have a strong sense of smell and use their lips to grasp food. They require large quantities of vegetation daily, often consuming up to 100 pounds. Their eating habits play a crucial role in maintaining their ecosystems by promoting vegetation growth and influencing the landscape.


Can black rhinos and white rhinos live in India?

Black and White Rhinos can live in all tempered zones in the world that provide food for them. The Indian rhinoceros is not wildly different in it's needs from the black and white rhinos of Africa. So it is reasonable to assume that African black and white rhinos would survive in India easily.
