First, I am grateful for the appropriateness of the categories wherein this question appeared. Now, I will answer your question. The rhinoceros is a massive animal.

Does a Black rhino need a specific type of food?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Black (or Hook-lipped) Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) do not need specific types of food, although they do graze on certain types of plants. The black rhino has a curved or hooked lip, in order to be able to strip leaves off the branches of small shrubs or lower branches of trees. The white rhino on the other hand, has a flat lip, because it grazes on the ground, eating mainly grass.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Rhinos only bear a passing resemblance to Triceratops because of their bulky bodies and the horns on their faces. They are not related to Triceratops, however. Rhinos are mammals, while Triceratops were dinosaurian reptiles. No mammals have evolved from dinosaurs, rhinos included. In short, they appear slightly similar just because of coincidence.
