    Hi alexxjayne! It's great that you are starting to identify your photos, but I am not convinced this is the Indian rhino. Indian rhino's are known to only have one horn, and the adult in this photo clearly has two horns. This is most likely a white rhino based on the wide mouth used for grazing and the large front horn.

    Hope this helps!

The White rhinoceros

The white rhinoceros or square-lipped rhinoceros is the largest extant species of rhinoceros. It has a wide mouth used for grazing and is the most social of all rhino species. The white rhinoceros consists of two subspecies: the southern white rhinoceros, with an estimated 17,460 wild-living animals at the end of 2007, and the much rarer northern white rhinoceros.
