Discover the majestic diversity of rhinoceroses with this beautifully illustrated guide! This chart showcases the five living rhino species, each depicted with meticulous detail. At the top, the White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) stands out with its square-shaped lip and two horns, a hallmark of its grazing lifestyle. Below it, the Black Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) features a more pointed lip, adapted for browsing, and a slightly more compact frame.

Next, the Indian Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) displays its unique armor-like skin with deep folds and a single horn, giving it a prehistoric appearance. The Javan Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) follows, with similar skin folds but a smaller, more elusive presence, reflecting its critically endangered status. Finally, the Sumatran Rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) stands out with its reddish-brown, hairy coat and two horns, the smallest and most ancient of the rhino species.
