the internet is really an amazing rescource........
rhinos=
The Rhinoceros (IPA: [ɹɑɪˈnɒsəɹəs], or Rhino) is any of five surviving species of odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae. Two species are native to Africa and three to southern Asia. Four of the five species are either endangered or critically endangered.
The word "rhinoceros" is derived from the Greek words rhino, meaning nose, and keras, meaning horn; hence "horn-nosed". The plural can be rhinoceros, rhinoceri, or rhinoceroses.
The family is characterised by large size (one of the few remaining megafauna surviving today) with all of the species capable of reaching one ton or more in weight; herbivorous diet; and a thick protective skin, 1.5-5 cm thick, formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure; relatively small brains for mammals this size (400-600g); and its horn. The rhino is prized for its horn. Not a true horn, it is made of thickly matted hair that grows from the skull without skeletal support. Rhinoceros also have acute hearing and sense of smell, but poor eyesight over any distance. Most rhinoceros live to be about 50 years old or more. The collective noun for a group of rhinoceros is "crash".
Both African varieties have two horns in tandem while the Asian types have a single horn.
hippos=
The hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius), from the Greek ‘ιπποπόταμος (hippopotamos, hippos meaning "horse" and potamos meaning "river"), is a large, mostly plant-eating African mammal, one of only two extant in the family Hippopotamidae (the other being the Pygmy Hippopotamus).
The hippopotamus lives a primarily aquatic lifestyle in the rivers and lakes of sub-Saharan Africa in large groups of up to 40 hippos. During the day they remain cool by staying in rivers; they emerge at night to feed on grass. Reproduction and childbirth both occur in water. Despite their resemblance to pigs or other terrestrial mammals, their closest living relatives are cetaceans — whales, porpoises and the like.
The hippopotamus is recognizable for its barrel-shaped torso, hairless body, stubby legs and tremendous size. They are roughly the same size as the White Rhinoceros, only elephants are always larger. Although there are still tens of thousands of hippos throughout Africa, they are still threatened by poaching and change of habitat.
