Description

This white rhino is from Dubbo Zoo Australia and the parrot and other birds seem to visit them without any fear ! White rhinos in the wild appear to require thick bush cover, relatively flat terrain, water for drinking and wallowing, and short grass for grazing. They primarily inhabit grassy savanna and woodlands interspersed with grassy clearings.
The rhinos tend to avoid the heat during the day, when they rest in the shade. They are usually active in the early morning, late afternoon and evening.
During very hot periods, the cool and rid themselves of ectoparasites (external parasites) by bathing in mud in shallow pools. Adult males can spend almost their entire life in these areas, unless water is unavailable, in which case they follow a narrow corridor to a drinking site every 3-4 days.
More infor on WWF side, its a real good idea to try to safe this brilliant beast.
