White Rhino (Ceratotherium simum) headshot

Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya

Note the flat square muzzle of this species which is a grazer. It has huge grinding molars to cope with the high silicon content of grass and has a more massive head (to house the "chewing muscles") and more powerful supporting shoulder muscles than the browsing Black Rhino.
