White rhinos typically move in a steady, lumbering manner due to their large size and weight, which can exceed 2,300 kilograms (5,000 pounds). They have a unique gait, often shifting their weight from one leg to another while keeping their heads low to the ground. While not particularly fast, they can run at speeds up to 40 kilometers per hour (25 miles per hour) in short bursts when needed. Their movement is often deliberate, as they are generally more focused on foraging for food than on speed.
