Black & White Rhinos

Two rhinos facing each other with heads lowered, in a clearing surrounded by trees. Caption: or to defend themselves and their young.

What weighs 6,000 pounds, has poor vision, and a horn growing on its nose? A rhinoceros, of course! Solio Ranch in Kenya is a private wildlife sanctuary for black and white rhinos. Explains the differences and similarities between these animals, and notes poachers want only the rhino's horn for Asian and Middle Eastern markets. Shocking statistics emphasize the urgency to protect this unique species. NOTE: One brief mating scene.
