TITLE: White Rhinos - The Gentler Giants

White Rhinos are larger, more curious and much less aggressive than their cousins the Black Rhinos. They are not named for their color, but from the Afrikaans word describing their mouth as "wyd" which was misinterpreted by early English settlers. White Rhinos are grass eaters and have a wide mouth with a flat lower jaw that has adapted over time for feeding on short grasses. They are also sometimes referred to a "square-lipped" rhinos. I captured this series of images in the Lakipia Plains region of Kenya over a series of 5 days in February, 2026.
