Rhino

Rhino are mammals.

Rhino eat up to 190 to 200 plants a day. They eat bark, grass and roots. They find food by scratching the ground. Rhinos live in the East African plains. They are five meters long and two meters wide , they are gray with big horns. Did you know that rhino skin is as soft as human skin? Rhino have nose muscles that lock their horn into place in battle but when they are relaxed you can wiggle their horns from side to side. Rhino horn is made of hair. There are five different specices of rhino. All five can grow to the weight of 1000kg. Relative to their large body they have tiny brains. We need to look after rhino because they will be extinct very soon.
