有什么比用鼻子蹭犀牛更可爱?(What's cuter than nuzzling rhinos?)
今天是世界犀牛日,为了庆祝,我们来到了南非,这里是地球上大多数白犀牛的家园。在野外,这些雄伟的动物都是食草动物,上唇宽阔、方形,非常适合在非洲大草原上吃草。两角白犀牛是现存的五种犀牛中的一种,还有黑色、较大的单角犀牛、苏门答腊犀牛和爪哇犀牛。白犀牛,就像你在这里看到的母犀牛和子犀牛一样,由于偷猎和自然栖息地的缩小,它们的数量正在减少。

Today is World Rhino Day, and to celebrate we're in South Africa, the home of the majority of the planet's white rhinos. In the wild, these majestic animals are grazers, with wide, square upper lips perfect for feeding on the grasses of African savannahs. The two-horned white rhino is one of five living rhino species, along with the black, greater one-horned, Sumatran, and Javan rhinos. White rhinos, like the mother and offspring you see nuzzling here, have seen their numbers dwindle due to poaching and shrinking natural habitats.
