How long does a rhino live for?
Not very long - a matter of days only. Many websites unfamiliar with Australian fauna state that kangaroos can go for a long time without drinking, but this simply is not true. Consider that kangaroos that live in more arid areas do not burrow like many other animals do; because they are exposed to the heat of the day, they experience thirst, and they must have access to water in some form. Kangaroos only live in areas where there is permanent or semi-permanent water, even on the arid plains, and when these sources dry up, they move on to areas where there is water.

Where did the white race originate?
This may need more research but there is a proposal that when the first humans migrated into Europe from Africa they were dark skinned.
However, in Europe the sunlight is much less, and due to the dark pigment designed to resist the fierce African sun these people did not absorb enough sunlight through their skins to create Vitamin D (which is produced in the skin by the action of light). The result of Vitamin D deficiency is Rickets - bone malformation in children.
Of the original immigrants those with slightly less skin pigment did not suffer so much with Rickets so they survived better and their children were able to survive better. In this way the paler children always survived better and their children who were paler survived better. Over a few generations skin colour lightened until white skins were normal in Europe.

How does the white rhino get its name?
A popular theory of the origins of the name White Rhinoceros is a mistranslation from Dutch into Afrikaans and English. The Afrikaans word "wit", meaning "white" in English is said to have been derived by mistranslation of the Dutch word "wijd", which means "wide" in English and is spelt "wyd" in Afrikaans. The word "wide" refers to the width of the Rhinoceros mouth. So early European settlers in South Africamisinterpreted the "wyd" for "white" and the rhino with the wide mouth ended up being called the White Rhino and the other one, with the narrow pointed mouth, was called the Black Rhinoceros.
