- The white rhinoceros's most recognizable features are two large horn-like structures arranged one behind the other on its snout.
- The white rhinoceros's most distinctive feeding adaptation is its broad, straight, square-lipped mouth, which lets it graze efficiently, cropping wide swathes of grass with each bite.
