We hve been working out in one of our large compound area ( South Africa ) removing dead wood from some old sycamore trees and this was our ground crew for the day ... A Southern White Rhino ( Rhinocerotidae sp : simon )
The white rhino has a mild and inoffensive personality compared to the black rhino. They are very curious and tend to move away from conflict rather than confront it with attack. Sometimes a mock charge will take place to scare off intruders. Most people view the white rhino as a slow lumbering animal, however, they can turn 180 degrees at the blink of an eye and when necessary can run remarkably fast, but not for long periods of time. It can also throw its head up from the normal grazing position very quickly. The mass of powerful muscles forming the hump above the shoulders allows for this quick movement.
