500 Questions
Is the black rhino really black?
Asked by Wiki User
No.
The color is basically muddy grey. The main differences between the white and black rhino is that the black rhino is a bit smaller and has pointed lips.
It is fairly certain that the White Rhino became called so through misunderstanding its name in Afrikaans. In Afrikaans "wide" (referring to its wide, flat mouth) sounds fairly similar to "white", so in English it became the white rhino. Whether the other rhino is actually darker, or got called "black" just because of symmetry reasons, no noe really knows.
When do black rhinos reproduce?
Asked by Wiki User
Most conceptions occur during the rainy season so that babies are born in the dry season. This enables those babies to be nourished by mother's milk throughout the difficult dry season when water and food are hard to find. Males reach sexual maturity around 7 to 10 years of age. Females reach sexual maturity between 4 to 7 years old.
