Majestic rhinoceros grazes casually beside the road on safari

The rhinoceros is the second largest land animal in the world. Reaching weights of over 2,300kg (5,000lbs), only elephants are heavier. These massive animals appear ferocious with their thick, armour-like skin and formidable horns. But they are actually gentle herbivores that wander and eat grass and plants, posing no threat to other animals, or even people who maintain a respectful distance.
