EcosystemThe Black rhino lives in the grasslands of southern and eastern Africa. It is a solitary animal and it usually lives out on its own but it shares the grassland with many other species including: Okapi, Gazelles, Hippos, Giraffes, and zebras. The Black rhino is an herbivore so it eats only plants like grass and trees. Black rhinos only have one predator that would even attempt to take down a rhino and that is a pack of lions. Other animals like hyenas try to get the rhino calves but the fast cheetahs usually have more success.
