Rhinoceroses
A rhino’s size and speed once made it one of the most dangerous animals to hunt. Due to excessive poaching, however, most species of rhinoceros are now threatened with extinction. The exception is the white rhino, which can be hunted in South Africa and Nambia. These brawny beasts can measure about six feet at the shoulder and weigh up to 7,700 pounds. Despite their weight, rhinos can charge at speeds of almost 50 kilometres an hour.
Even though they are such large creatures, they are very good at hiding on the African landscape. Big game hunters consider them one of the most difficult and frustrating game to hunt.
