Black Rhinoceros are an African species, and are actually gray.  Due to conservation efforts Black Rhinos are on a steady incline and taking great efforts to keep it there, due to poaching.  Black Rhinos have two horns made of Keratin this is the same basis as human hair and finger nails.  Black and White Rhinos are both gray, you can tell the main difference between the two by their upper lip, it is hooked helping them feed on leaves, bushes and trees.

I was lucky enough to experience V.I.P treatment and have breakfast with this black Rhinoceros at Chester Zoo.  A magnificent species who should be respected and cared for.

The Giraffe is the tallest land animal.  Giraffe is known for their long necks they use their height to look out for predators and eat the best leaves and buds.  Giraffes find it difficult to drink from watering holes and this makes them very vulnerable to predators as they have to spread their legs and bend as far as they can.

When the Giraffes are out of their enclosures and right up against the fence, looking up is daunting.  There is something about these animals that is incredible and I don't just mean their eye lashes!  They look so soft and gentle and can be very comical.
