How can you tell the difference between a black rhino and a white rhino? (HINT: It’s not the color of their skin; both are gray.)

Their mouths are different. White rhinos are grazers that feed on grass and low vegetation, so they have a wide, square mouth and lips adapted to pulling up large swaths of grasses. Black rhinos are browsers—they get most of their sustenance from eating trees and bushes—so they have a triangular, hooked upper lip that can grab tree branches and pull down leaves.


Hope it helps
