Behavior
The black rhinoceros wallows in water holes, and, in the processes, coats itself in mud. Researchers theorize that the mud coating protects the rhinoceros against biting insects.Animal Diversity Web: Black RhinocerosBlack rhinos have poor eyesight, and consequently rely on their sense of smell and hearing.
The black rhinoceros will attack almost anything, but in most cases it is bluffing. Serious attacks on other animals do occur, however, if the rhinoceros feels his territory is being threatened.Animal Corner: Black Rhinoceros
