Rhino’s - Which Rhino is that?

Pilanesberg is lucky in the fact that it has both Black and White Rhino present and both are seen quite regularly.

Rhino numbers have decreased rapidly throughout their range but South Africa has made huge steps in halting this downward trend and numbers have increased dramatically in the last 20 years.

When driving around the Park I often encounter guests at sightings and the most common asked question is if I knew where any Lions where, but recently I have fielded many questions as to which species of Rhino the guests had seen or where watching.

The differences between the Black and White Rhino are numerous and we often take it for granted that all are aware of them, but lately I have realized that differences as not that obvious to all.

Hence I will try and point out some useful tip on how to tell them apart.
