Endangered Elegance: Black Rhino Replica
This life-sized black rhino sculpture (L320cm x W102cm x H148cm, 76kg) showcases the distinctive features of the critically endangered black rhinoceros. Known for its prehensile, hooked upper lip used for browsing leaves and twigs, this rhino captures the power and grace of this African giant. With its thick, textured skin and robust stance, this piece offers an authentic look at one of nature’s most fascinating creatures. Despite their tough exterior, black rhinos are vulnerable to environmental threats and poaching, making them an icon of conservation efforts. Ideal for wildlife parks, educational installations, or themed environments, this sculpture not only serves as a striking centrepiece but also a reminder of the importance of wildlife protection
- The black rhinoceros (scientific name: Diceros bicornis) is one of the two rhino species found in Africa. In the same way that the white rhino is not white, the black rhino is not actually black. The authentic colour is more brown / grey.
- Black rhinos have two horns, with the front horn being larger and more prominent. These horns are made of keratin, the same material as human nails and hair. Despite their value on the black market, rhino horns do not have medicinal properties.
