Black Rhino vs White Rhino: What's the Difference? It’s true that rhinos are endangered animals and that there are many organizations working hard to protect them from extinction, but what many people don’t realize is that there are actually two different species of rhinos—the black rhino and the white rhino. The interesting thing about the black and white rhinos is that their names have nothing to do with their skin color. They’re both technically steely gray. So what ARE the real differences between these two rhino species?
