KaneFamily > White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) at the Wild Animal Park. How the white rhino came to be called “white” is uncertain. One account says that South Africa's early Boer settlers called it wijde, Dutch for “wide,” which could refer to the wide lip or the size of the animal. The wide mouth of the white rhino is perfect for grazing on grasses.
KaneFamily > Giraffe at the Wild Animal Park. Giraffe live on the savanna in pockets of Africa, south of the Sahara Desert. Giraffes are the tallest land animals. A giraffe's 6-foot (1.8-meter) neck weighs about 600 pounds (272 kilograms). The legs of a giraffe are also 6 feet (1.8 meters) long. The back legs look shorter than the front legs, but they are about the same length. A giraffe's heart is 2 feet (0.6 meters) long and weighs about 25 pounds (11 kilograms), and its lungs can hold 12 gallons (55 liters) of air!

KaneFamily > Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) at the Wild Animal Park. The mouth of the Indian rhino looks like a cross between broad-lipped and hook-lipped. Although it is fairly broad, it has a small prehensile lip. Many people describe these rhinos as armor-plated, but they are actually covered with a layer of skin that has many folds. Also called the greater one-horned rhino, they are native to swampy areas of Northeast India and Nepal.
