The Black Rhinoceros is a type of rhino Friend which first appeared in the original Kemono Friends game.
Appearance
In comparison to most friends having gently styled hair, Black Rhinoceros lets her scruffy, wild, black-colored hair flow free. Atop of her head are two ears of the same black shade. She has brown eyes, and has a slight, rose pink colored blush.
Black Rhinoceros wears black armor of a similar shade to that of her hair over a bright blue miniskirt. Under her boots of similar design to her armor, she sports gray knee socks. Black Rhinoceros wields a two-sided spear, with one of the spearheads being notably smaller to the other, resembling her real life counterpart's two horns of differing sizes.

In Real Life
The Black Rhinoceros is a large, herbivorous ungulate once native to a wide variety of sub-Saharan locations, but now only surviving South Africa. What differentiates the white and black rhinoceros is not pelt, but instead the shape of the upper lip, adapted expertly to diet. Black rhinoceros use their hooked lips to grab leaves and fruit off trees, a behavior not present in white rhinoceros. Surprisingly, these animals could be considered nocturnal, spending most of their nights foraging, while sleeping through the day. To protect themselves from bugs and the rays of the sun, they roll themselves in mud. While their eyesight is poor, their senses are made up for with an impeccable sense of smell, as well as great hearing. Sadly, this animal is now critically endangered, due mostly in part to trophy hunting/poaching. Their horns are used in several Asian countries as traditional medicine, and ornamental items in some Saharan/Middle Eastern countries.
