Robert Bateman

There are two subspecies of white rhinoceros: the southern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum)
and the northern white rhinoceros(Ceratotherium simum cottoni). As of 2013, the southern subspecies has
a wild population of 20,405 – making them the most abundant rhino subspecies in the world. However,
the northern subspecies is critically endangered, with all that is known to remain being two captive females.
There is no conclusive explanation of the name "white rhinoceros". A popular idea that "white" is a distortion
of either the Afrikaans word wyd or the Dutch word wijd (or its other possible spellings whydeweit, etc.,),
meaning "wide" and referring to the rhino's square lips, is not supported by linguistic studies.[10][11]

The white rhino has an immense body and large head, a short neck and broad chest. Females weigh 1,600 kg
(4,000 lb) and males 2,400 kg (5,000 lb). The head-and-body length is 3.5–4.6 m (11–15 ft) and the shoulder
height is 1.8–2 m (5.9–6.6 ft). On its snout it has two horns. The front horn is larger than the other horn and
averages 90 cm (35 in) in length and can reach 150 cm (59 in). The white rhinoceros also has a prominent
muscular hump that supports its relatively large head. The colour of this animal can range from yellowish
brown to slate grey. Most of its body hair is found on the ear fringes and tail bristles, with the rest
distributed rather sparsely over the rest of the body. White rhinos have the distinctive flat broad
mouth that is used for grazing.
