Popular theory is that the White Rhino got its name from the fact that the English misunderstood what the Dutch meant when they referred to it as the Wijdmond Renoster. Wijd is Dutch for wide which referred to the rhino’s wide mouth. The white rhino or square-lipped rhinoceros is a grazer and eats grass, preferring the shortest grains, hence the wide mouth comes in very handy. Kinda like a living lawnmower.
Great photo. Have a good day Diane
Fantastic shot of the rhino, and the lion in your previous post 🙂
