Black Rhinoceros – Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Although this species of rhinoceros is referred to as "black," its actual colours vary from brown to gray. The other African rhinoceros is the white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum). The word "white" in the name "white rhinoceros" is a misinterpretation of the Afrikaans word wyd, itself derived from the Dutch word wijd for wide, referring to its square upper lip, as opposed to the pointed or hooked lip of the black rhinoceros. These species are now sometimes referred to as the square-lipped (for white) or hook-lipped (for black) rhinoceros.
