They may have short legs, but somehow the weight is appropriately distributed, and the strong muscles of their back legs are strong enough to support the weight and propel the rhinos forward.
5 reasons a rhino might run?
1. Escape a predator 2. Charge at a predator 3. Protect their territory 4. During mating rituals 5. Young rhinos run and play
The short answer is that rhinos can run up to 34 miles per hour. However, different rhinos species each have varying top speeds.
While they probably can’t jump how we traditionally think of it, they do end up with all four legs in the air when they run.
