1. Eastern Africa: The black rhino is found in countries like Kenya, Tanzania, and South Sudan, where they inhabit savanna grasslands, acacia woodlands, and shrublands.
2. Southern Africa: Black rhinos are present in countries like South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. They prefer habitats such as savannas, woodlands, and thick bush areas.

Black rhinoceros prefer habitats that offer sufficient food resources, such as grasses, shrubs, and trees, as well as areas with adequate shelter, water, and protection from predators and human disturbances. Due to poaching and habitat loss, their distribution has become fragmented, and many black rhinos now live in protected areas and wildlife sanctuaries. Conservation efforts aim to protect and restore their habitats to ensure the survival of this critically endangered species.
