A captive southern white rhinoceros in Bioparc Valencia, Valencia, Spain. There are small, reintroduced populations within the historical range of the southern white rhinoceros in Botswana, Eswatini, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and in the southwest of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, while a small population survives in Mozambique.
They are primarily found in Africa, southern and southeastern Asia, and Central America, and are found in a variety of biomes, most typically grassland, savanna, inland wetlands, shrubland, and desert. Perissodactyls range in size from the 1.8 m (6 ft) long Baird's tapir to the 4 m (13 ft) long white rhinoceros.
The white rhinoceros consists of two subspecies: the southern white rhinoceros, with an estimated 16,803 wild-living animals, [3] and the much rarer northern white rhinoceros. The northern subspecies has very few remaining individuals, with only two confirmed left in 2018 (two females: Fatu, 24 and Najin, 29, both in captivity at Ol Pejeta).
