Rhino on the Savanna

One large rhinoceros occupies the open savanna scene in a side view. Its two horns, four sturdy legs, broad torso, small eyes, and folded skin are visible. Three clouds float above the animal, while low shrubs and tufts of grass fill parts of the ground around it.

Interesting facts about rhinos

Savannas provide rhinos with grasses or leafy plants to eat, depending on the species. They often visit muddy areas because a coating of mud can help cool the skin and discourage biting insects. Although their skin looks heavily armored, it is sensitive and needs protection from sun and parasites.

Colors of a Real Rhino and Savanna

  • Skin: gray, brownish gray, or dusty earth tones
  • Skin folds: darker gray or brown where dirt and mud collect
  • Horns: cream, tan, brown, or dark gray
  • Savanna grass and shrubs: green during wetter periods and straw-gold or brown in dry conditions
  • Clouds: white, pale gray, or bluish gray depending on the light
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Are rhino horns made of bone?
No. They consist mainly of keratin, the same durable protein found in human hair and fingernails. The horn grows throughout the animal’s life and can wear down with use.
Do rhinos have good eyesight?
Their eyesight is relatively limited, but their senses of smell and hearing are strong. A rhino may turn its ears independently to locate unfamiliar sounds.
What do rhinos eat on the savanna?
The answer depends on the species. Some graze mainly on grasses, while others browse on leaves, shoots, and twigs from bushes and small trees.
