I read an article about rhinos in Africa. The rhinos are becoming extinct because of poaching. They're being poached to cut off their horns. There are two kinds of rhinos, black and white. My brother just did a report for school on rhinos and he says that the difference between black and white rhinos is not their color, but how wide their heads are. "White" rhinos are really "weit" rhinos in Dutch. "Weit" means "wide" in Dutch. Did you know that rhinos can get as big as a car? They are only grass eaters, not meat eaters. There was a baby rhino that was an orphan. She got killed and her little baby horn was only a few inches long. It was hacked off by the poachers. I got my information from _The Wisconsin State Journal_ of Friday, March 19, 2010 and from my mom who told me what my brother had said.

Hi Leah,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your interesting reports. I didn't know that the difference between black rhinos and white ones is the width of their heads.
