The black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) is a species of rhinoceros. It is actually more of a dark grey color than black, and is really only distinguishable from the white rhinoceros by the shape of its upper lip. It is classified as critically endangered, and one subspecies, the western black rhinoceros, was declared extinct by the IUCN in 2011.Photo: Ikiwaner
