The Black Rhinoceros or "Hook-Lipped Rhinoceros" is one of the 8 subspecies of rhinoceros native to South Africa as well as the South Central Black Rhinoceros found in KwaZulu, Natal.
The other African rhinoceros is the White Rhinoceros; the word "white" comes from the dutch word wijd (wide), due to its square upper lip.

Finally, the Cape rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis bicornis) or Southern Black Rhinoceros was the largest species and lived in great numbers from the Cape of Good Hope to Transvaal, but excessive hunting and habitat destruction extinguished it around 1850.
