NORTHERN WHITE RHINOS.

This are the world's rarest large mammals that are only found in Keny at OLPEJETA CONSERVANCY.

The rhinos have been classified as sub-species that are critically endangered. Here are some of the features that you will observe in the white rhinos and not in other rhinos.

1.They have a square (not pointed) upper lip
2.They have longer skull, a less sharp defined forehead and a more pronounced shoulder hump.
3.The animals almost have no hair and two horns unlike the other rhinos.

Apart from the white rhinos, there are also the black rhinos but they are not as endangered as the white rhinos.
