Artist's notes:

white rhinoceros thumb The White Rhinoceros is a 're-do' from an earlier drawing. Animals with tough hides like the rhino are excellent subjects to render in pen and ink. Having somewhat of a 'soft spot' for rhinos, I always enjoy illustrating them. While this particular drawing was created from a photo, I had done some studies of the white rhino at the Wildlife World Zoo in Arizona. I think it was the first time I had seen a rhino and was fairly amazed at how enormous they are.

Information about the White Rhinoceros:

The White Rhinoceros lives primarily open woodland with nearby open grassland, thick brush, and water. The term "white" rhino is actually a misinterpretation of the native African word "widje," referring to the wide mouth of the rhino. White rhinos are among the largest living land animals. They can weigh up to 5000 pounds have a head-and-body length of 11-14 feet.
