HabitatI live in grassy lands with lots of bushes and trees near lots of water. I don't migrate. I live in southern Africa and central Africa.

diet I am a herbivore that eats plants. I have square lips that help me eat grass, trees, leaves and bushes. I sometimes graze on grass at night, and I can go four or five days withoal water

How young are born I am born live, after developing for 547 days. Males and females fight during courtship, leading to wounds.

How do you take care of your offspringIf a calf is threatened, the mother will fight for its calf. The baby drinks milk from its mother for over 12 months. The baby leaves its mother when it's 2 years old.

Natural enemiesMy natural enemies are mostly humans but sometimes lions and crocodiles might try to hunt me too. I use my horns and body to protect myself. There are only four white rhinos left
