Lewa Wildlife Conservancy Kenya Attractions

the safari During your Kenya wildlife safari to the Lewa Conservancy, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with some of the land giants that can be found roaming the lewa downs.

You can get up close and personal with both the black and white southern rhinos on a Kenya wildlife Safari to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. The three extant elephant species and the white southern rhino are the two largest land mammals on the planet, respectively, in terms of body mass. A white rhino can be distinguished from other species by its large set of nostrils, which are the largest of any living creature on Earth. It also has a pair of two horn-like structures above its muzzle-like head, with the front horn being significantly larger than the second horn, which is smaller in size, with an average height of 60 cm or 24 in. The body color of the white rhino ranges from yellowish brown to slaty grey.

 Due to its large olfactory passage, which is bigger than its entire brain and is solely responsible for giving this rhino an acute sense of smell, it has a great sense of smell. It also has a fair sense of hearing because it can move its ears independently of one another to pick up even the smallest sound coming from any direction. The stumpy foot of the white rhino has three unique toes.

The body dimensions of a white rhino

There is a hump on the back of this kind of rhino. The white rhino displays sexual dimorphism with males being larger than their female counterparts, males have an average body length of 3.7-4.5m or 12.1-14.8ft while females have 3.4- 3.65cm or 11.2-12.0ft in body length, males can weigh up to a staggering 2300kg on average with a superb height of 170-186cm or 5.58-6,1ft while females only weigh an average of 1700kg or 3750ib with a shoulder height of 160-177cm or 5.25-5.81ft.

Since rhinos are solely grazers, they were designed with a wide, straight mouth. Most of the time, these animals live in herds or crashes of up to 14 females and their calves. These animals are fiercely territorial, and the dominant bulls mark their territory by building dung mounds and spraying.

Reproduction among rhinos

White rhinos’ sexual maturation occurs between the ages of 6-7 for females and 10–12 for males. The male and female white rhinos stay together during copulation for between 5 to 20 days before breaking apart. A single calf is born after a gestation period of roughly 16 months, and for the next 12 months, it will be cared for by its mother, who is fiercely protective of her calf. Due to their enormous size and ferocity, rhinos do not naturally have predators; instead, humans have taken on this role.

Reticulated giraffe

On the Kenya Safari Tour to Lewa Conservancy, you can also see the reticulated or Somali giraffe, which is the tallest land mammal on the globe.

Origins of the name giraffe

The giraffe’s long neck, legs, and horn-like features, called ossicones, make it easy to recognize. The Arabic word for this animal, “zarafah,” which means “fast walker,” is where the word “giraffe” first appeared. The giraffe has light hairs that are typically white or cream in color that separate its dark areas of orange, chestnut, or brown fur.

Walking pattern and body dimensions

Giraffes can move their front and back limbs of one side of their bodies simultaneously, and they can counterbalance this movement by moving their long neck in the other direction. The adult male giraffe is between 4.3 and 5.7 meters (14.1 and 18.7 feet) tall and weighs 1192 kilograms (2628 pounds), while the adult female weighs 828 kilograms (1825 pounds), demonstrating sexual dimorphism in giraffes. Additionally, the giraffe has a lengthy tongue that is typically 45 cm (18 in) long and has a purplish black tint that is said to protect it from sunburns. Additionally, giraffes may sleep while standing, and even when they are lying down, they will rest their long neck on one of their hips. The giraffe can live up to 25 years in its native environment and has a gestation period of 14 to 15 months.
