"The largest species of rhinoceros in the world, the white rhinoceros, or a rhino for short, is a large horned mammal endemic to the southern half of Africa. White rhinos are actually a dark gray, and many believe the name white actually comes from a mistaken translation. History: The white rhino is split into two subspecies: the southern and the northern white rhino. Due to the large differences in where they live and the relative habitat loss in each region, the southern white rhino is considered a near threatened= with over 20,000 individuals living in the wild. Scientific Name: Ceratotherium simum Characteristics: Capturing the burly body, dark gray skin, and famous pearlescent white horn, this professionally sculpted white rhino toy figurine is truly life-like. Size: Standing 12.5 inches long, 3.5 inches wide, and 5.6 inches tall.
