âHow I live thereâ. White rhinos are eating machines. They spend about half of their waking hours eating, one third resting, and the remainder doing other things such as wallowing in mud holes! White rhinos are very large animals that must eat up to 120 pounds of grasses per day to sustain themselves. They will drink every day if they can find water on the arid savannah, but can survive up to 5 days without it.
