                                               The White Rhinoceros

                 Africa. It has a very thick, light grey skin and weighs

                up to 3,600 kilos.  It has two horns.  one short one

                behind one long one. 

                           By 1900, there were only 50 to 100  white

                rhinoceroses left in the wild. This was because they

                had been hunted for their     skins, horns and meat.

                However, a reservation had been established in Natal

                in 1897. As  a result, the species was saved, and today

                about 2,500 white rhinoceroses have been

                re-introduced into the wild.
