Rhinoceros skin. Close-up of the skin of a white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum),also known as the square-lipped rhino. The skin of a rhino is thick and protects it from sunlight and predators,though it is still susceptible to sunburn and insect bites. This large herbivore feeds on grass and lives on the grasslands of southern Sudan and South Africa. Due to extensive hunting for their horns,white rhinoceroses are now highly endangered.
