Description
This pic is from Dubbo Zoo ! White rhinos are attributed to have the most complex social structure of all rhino species. Groups of up to 14 rhinos may form, notably females with calves. Adult males occupy territories of 1-3km2, which they mark with vigorously scraped dung piles, while adult females have home ranges of 6-20km2 or even larger, depending on habitat quality and population density.
Breeding females are prevented from leaving a dominant's male territory, which is marked and and patrolled by its owner on a regular basis. Males competing for a female may engage in serious conflict, using their horns to inflict wounds.
Poaching has tripled in last few years, as Asian countries continue to buy them for medicine (they should just eat their own fingernails bec that's what horn is made off). The Northern White rhino has only 4 animals left in the wild according to WWF.
