The white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) is a species of perissodactyl mammal in the Rhinocerotidae family. It is the largest of the five rhinoceros species that exist today, the fourth largest land animal and the fourth heaviest land mammal after the three elephant species. It can reach 4.2 meters in length and 1.85 meters in height. It is one of two species of rhinoceros that live in the African savannah, the other being the black rhinoceros. Both have two horns and are moderately threatened due to poaching.

A herd of white rhinoceroses (with rhinoceros incorrectly labeled rhinocerous on that page) appeared in issue 2, living in the Fossil Rim Wildlife Preserve near Glen Rose, Texas. According to the comic, this species has become endangered and on the brink of extinction. The herd sensed something in the bushes and charged forth to investigate, only to run in the opposite direction when it was revealed to be a Carnotaurus.
In issue 3, one of the white rhinoceroses escaped from the reserve and ended up at Lexxcrops Farms where it was encountered by Sheriff Xavier Delgado and Lex Murphy, who didn't expect a rhinoceros in Texas.
