The father of the rhinoceros was 14-year-old male Eddie (Eddie), born at the Cincinnati Zoo (Cincinnati Zoo). While the newborn rhinoceros is with his mother in a separate enclosed room, but after inspection they will be transferred to an open and spacious aviary.
The black rhino (Latin Diceros bicornis) is a large mammal and one of five species of living rhinos. All of these rhinos are listed by IUCN in the International Red Book as an endangered species. Black and white rhinos live on the African continent, and Indian rhinoceros (Latin Rhinoceros unicornis), Javan (Latin Rhinoceros sondaicus) and Sumatran (Latin Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) rhinos live in Asia.
The black rhinoceros lives in East Africa. Basically leads a solitary lifestyle. Sometimes there are couples that consist of a mother and a baby. Presumably today there are about 3 thousand individuals of this species. The black rhino of West Africa was officially declared extinct on November 10, 2013.
The black rhino differs from the white device of the upper lip, which has a somewhat pointed shape and hangs with a small proboscis over the lower. With the help of such a lip, it is easier for a rhinoceros to remove leaves from shrubs. In addition, it has a shorter head compared to the white rhino, and the horn is slightly forward. The body of a black rhino is lighter than that of its counterpart.
Black rhinos are found in wetter places – near rivers, lakes and swamps. This animal feeds on dry burdock, grass, reed, bushes foliage and twigs. At the same time, the black rhino does not pay any attention to either sharp spikes or caustic juice. It is rather unpretentious in food, but strongly attached to one site.
The black rhino has no enemies, with the exception of the man who hunts it for its horn, which is valued in some Eastern cultures as a medical remedy. At the same time, according to scientific data, it has no healing properties.
