Rare Southern White Rhino Marking His Territory | Ceratotherium simum simum

Somehow this nature documentary video featuring a white rhino marking territory has been turned into a rhino 💩 meme!
Rhinoceroses have poor eyesight so their pathways around their territory are marked with scent, this shows you how the scent is spread…

Basically the Southern white rhino bull has a number of midden/latrine sites in his territory where he defecates, afterwards the rhino bull kicks the faeces with his back feet enabling him to leave the scent on the ground as he walks away.
The midden also acts as a messaging board for other rhinos. Female white rhino will defecate around the edges so that territory holders can know of their presence and oestrus status. Other male white rhino will mark directly on top of the midden as a challenge to the territorial male or on the edges if they are just passing through and want to be respectful.
The Southern White Rhino or Square-Lipped Rhino (Ceratotherium simum simum) numbers are dropping due to poaching. In 15 years the species may be extinct.

Rob The Ranger is a proudly South African Youtuber
The purpose of the Rob The Ranger Wildlife Videos YouTube channel is to show what it is like to experience seeing wild animals on an African safari. Nature Documentaries are often highly edited to tell a story, wildlife safaris are not, and the idea here is to show the wildlife sightings the way they were seen. Safari tours in Africa are generally suitable for all ages and this channel can be considered an educational channel about incredible nature, some scenes in the nature videos may be more graphic than people are used to but this is the reality of nature and is what you would see if you were present on such a safari in person. Safaris in Kenya, South Africa, or any other African country are an unrivalled experience for anyone with a passion for nature, wildlife photography, and travel. Hopefully the animal videos on this channel can provide a glimpse into what the nature experience is like and encourage more people to take a wildlife safari one day.
