I know this might get a barely pony related tag or even taken down for lack of pony, but I did try my best to draw an MLP styled Rhino to go with the rest of my Savannah characters. Rhinos have a completely different shape to them than Antelopes (which have a similar shape to ponies), so it was indeed a lot harder. The best I could really do was make the eye look MLP-ish. I hope you guys like her anyway.


A gift from iheartjapan789. My very own Rhino! Thank you so much, Iheart!
I've been wanting a Rhino character for some time now.


A rather independent individual, Lesotho here is quite strong physically and also spiritually.
She lives a nomadic lifestyle travelling throughout the Savannah to other distant lands. Moving from plain to plain, she is more than likely to pick up a few hitch hikers on the way. For instance, those very symbiotic Ox-pecker Birds, that help her get rid of those annoying parasites on her skin.
She is also likely to make some unlikely cloven-hooved friends throughout her travels. Like a certain patch of the Savannah where Obi, Nuk and all the others spend time and graze around in.
She has now sort of settled in this one area of the plains, where she socializes with many walks of life ranging from the height of a Giraffe to the tiny Dik-Dik Antelope.
She has secretly developed a sorta, kinda crush for Obi. For she adores the way he sings bass when he does and also he is just that handsome of an Elephant.
Though of course this wouldn't actually work (genetically), but it is still very cute.
She really likes grazing with him when they are together because Obi would be very generous and pluck some fruits from the tall Fig tree to bring down to her level. As a grazer, she wouldn't be able to reach the delicious fruits without his help.
Basically, another reason why she likes him more.



If you would like to know more about White Rhinos, I've put some facts down over here.


The largest and most numerous Rhinoceros, the white Rhino rivals the Hippopotamus as the biggest land mammal after the Elephants. Males weigh up to a half a ton more than the females, and have longer horns and more pronounced nuchal crest. The front horn may reach 4 1/2 feet in length (1.3 m), the rear one 16 in (40cm). This is also the most sociable of the Rhinoceros, generally placid, with mother-calf pairs staying together for long periods and up to 7 juveniles forming small herds. Mature males however, tend to be solitary.
An almost exclusive grazer, the wide, straight upper lip — giving the alternative name of square-lipped Rhinoceros — and hard lip pads crop grass extremely close to the ground.
Populations of Southern White Rhino are reasonably secure, numbering more than 8,500, although still conservation dependent.
There are fewer than 30 of the critically endangered Northern White Rhino.
