In the past few years only four have been sighted in the Garamba National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The northern species, Ceratotherium simum cottoni, has not faired nearly as well. They have been introduced outside of their former range to Kenya, Uganda, and Zambia. A small population survives in Mozambique. There are smaller, reintroduced populations within its former range in Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe. Sizeable populations are found in various national parks, state protected areas, and private reserves. In the early 20th century, white rhinos were almost at the edge of extinction, but, after years of protection and many translocations, they have made a substantial comeback. South Africa remains the stronghold for the southern species, Ceratotherium simum simum. Two subspecies of white rhinoceros are recognized, the northern and the southern. Short thick legs end on broad three-toed feet. They have very little hair except for ear fringes, eyelashes, and tail bristles with a few hairs intermittently scattered on the body. Colouration is a slate gray or yellowish-brown (not white). The ears are long, and they pivot freely. The white rhino has no front teeth (incisors) cheek teeth are high, broad, and strongly serrated. The name white rhino is derived from the Afrikaan word "wyt" meaning wide, referring to the broad square upper-lipped mouth that distinguishes it from the black rhino. They have two medial horns on the snout, one behind the other, the front horn being longer. The head is very long and carried low to the ground. They have a noticeable muscular hump on the back of the neck which supports the large head. They have massive bodies, short necks, and broad chests. The white rhino is the largest living land animal after the elephant (giraffes are taller but weigh less). White rhinoceros Ceratotherium simum simum
