Good question, Pierre. I think the difference you might be seeing in the image above is due to the relative size of the animals, the white rhino is larger than the black rhino and thus its horns are larger too. The image above is just one example though – keep in mind, the horns of both species are made of keratin (like fingernails) and the size of their horns depends on the nutrients and diet of the animal. Horn sizes vary just as the length and curvature of fingernails vary from person to person.

I remember seeing and learning about the differences when I was in Africa, they are brilliant creatures, you don’t realise how big they are until they stand next to your van… Stop the poachers.

i think soon rhinos will be diprived of their freedom because soon will have to put them in a secure place ,big walls, razor or eletric fences were pochers cant get hold of them.it is leading to that soon

Thanks for the information, Wanda. Yes, it is true that there is a rhino protection program at Fossil Rim in Texas. In fact, they have successfully bred four black rhino calves. Take a look at this video to see more about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5oh-B41tTk
