Endangered
The rhinoceros is a symbol of strength in African folklore, but it is better known as a powerful protector symbol. This is because the rhino sometimes protects other species in times of danger, and they have been known to stamp out fires.
Because of its physical characteristics – a massive body with a horn – the primary meaning of the rhinoceros spirit animal is strength. This spiritual guide gives you the solidity and strength you need to press on towards your destiny, leaving no room for doubt or fear. The rhinoceros is tenacious.
Currently, 2,056 black rhinos and 12,968 white rhinos are estimated to remain for a total of more than 15,000. Poaching remains the largest threat to South Africa’s rhinos.
