Habitat
Movement

Body Covering
These mammals have an immense body. Rhinoceroses skin are seriously extremely thick. "They're built like armored tanks with horns that can stop tigers in their tracks, They're Rhinoceros" (Greene) Rhinos have almost no hair what so ever. Their feet have 3 big fat meaty toes and their legs are very stout. Rhinos have very thick and big ears that can swivel so they have very good hearing. Though Rhinos have great hearing their small eyes make it harder for them to see. (Rhinoceroses: Rhinoceotidae)

Diet

Reproduction
Pregnancy for a Rhinoceros lasts about 15-16 months. Baby Rhinos or calves remain with their mommy for 2-4 years. They also nurse. Since they are mammals Rhinos develop inside the female. Rhinos are ready to mate at four to five years old but hold off till about ten because of all the competition for mating.(Rhinoceroses: Rhinoceotidae)
