Rhinos are frequently spotted in various national parks and wildlife reserves across Africa.
In Kenya, the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, located in Laikipia County, stands out as one of the most successful rhino conservation areas, housing a significant population of both black and white rhinoceroses. During our visit, we observed the highest number of rhinos in this conservancy.
The white rhinoceros is known for its wide mouth and gentle disposition, while the black rhinoceros features a pointed upper lip and often exhibits a more aggressive nature. Both species are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses and shrubs. However, rhinos face constant threats from poaching, driven by the demand for their horns in the illegal wildlife trade. Their populations are further endangered by habitat loss and poaching pressures.
犀牛最常见于非洲的几个国家公园和野生动物保护区。 在肯尼亚, 位于莱基皮亚县的奥尔佩杰塔保护区可能是最成功的犀牛保护区,栖息着大量黑犀牛和白犀牛。白犀牛的特点是嘴巴宽大,性情温和,而黑犀牛的上唇尖,往往更具攻击性。 这些生物是食草动物,以草和灌木为食。 由于非法野生动物贸易对犀牛角的需求,犀牛面临着持续的偷猎威胁,并且由于栖息地丧失和偷猎压力而濒临灭绝。
