Description: A diagram showing adult male and female sizes for the white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum), including a young calf, scaled to published shoulder heights.

• Adult male white rhinos can reach 170 - 186 cm tall at the shoulder and adult females can reach 160 - 177 cm tall at the shoulder; the larger sizes are shown in grey.[1] The rhino silhouettes are redrawn primarily from a photo by user Lkiwaner[2] with some modifications. • The calf is drawn from numerous images found online and scaled to a shoulder height of 59.3cm, based on a 17 day old described in 1972.[3] • Humans scaled to 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) and 160 cm (5 ft 3 in) respectively.
