Picture an animal the size of a car, with skin so thick it looks like a suit of armor and a horn on its nose like an old knight. That is the rhino, and even though it looks like a warrior, it is really a peaceful plant-eater that spends the day munching on grass. These rhino coloring pages let you give that armored hide any color you like.

We gathered rhinos for every taste: a baby peeking out of a heart, a cartoon one running at full speed, an Indian rhino with its plated skin and even one strolling through the jungle. You can color them the classic grey or invent a rhino in any color you want: on the page, you are in charge.

Here at Coloring Together we like to imagine our gallery as a big nature reserve, a safe place where every rhino finds its spot. When you finish yours, send it over so we can add it: we would love to watch it wander among the others.

Rhinos coloring pages

Why color rhino pictures?

The rhino is the second largest land animal in the world, right after the elephant, and one of the oldest still living among us. It lives in the savannas of Africa and the jungles of Asia, and despite its huge size it eats only plants.

Coloring rhinos is a fun way to get to know them up close. While you choose the grey of its skin and the shade of its famous horn, you discover what this giant is like: it looks like it stepped out of prehistoric times, yet it is calm and even a little shy.

We also added lots of fun facts about rhinos spread among the drawings, so every page you color leaves you with something new to share. Shall we get started?
