White Rhinoceros Poster – Wildlife Art

White Rhinoceros Poster

The White Rhinoceros or Square-Lipped Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) lives primarily open woodland with nearby open grassland, thick brush, and water. The term “white” rhino is actually a misinterpretation of the native African word “widje,” referring to the wide mouth of the rhino.

White rhinos are among the largest living land animals. They can weigh up to 5000 pounds have a head-and-body length of 11-14 feet. They are one of only five extant rhinos in the world today. It is believed one of the subspecies of the White Rhino – the Northern White Rhino – is extinct in the wild, and only 8 remain alive, all of which are in captivity.

The White Rhinoceros poster features highly detailed and scientifically accurate illustrations, along with information about the animal and a map showing it’s range. The artistic design is complete with both common and scientific names in a title across the top of the image. The poster is shipped in a sturdy 2″ mailing tube with plastic endcaps. The posters can be signed or customized by the artist upon request.
