Some Readers are confused about the differences between so-called Black and White Rhinos. There is virtually no difference whatever in our natural pigmentations. Scrubbed down, We are all grayish brown or brownish gray. Gorgeous.

Where We vary from one another is in the dirt We lavish on our skin, which is what determines our color. The colors of African soils vary, so our tonalities do too.

That dusty layer protects Us from both the sun and bugs, goshdarnem.
