Rhinoceros

Rhinoceroses are among the most iconic and endangered mammals on Earth. These large herbivores, characterized by their thick skin and prominent horns, are found in Africa and Asia. Rhinos are vital to their habitats, shaping landscapes by grazing and spreading seeds through their dung.

Despite their ecological importance, rhinos are under severe threat from poaching and habitat destruction. Their horns, sought after in illegal markets, have led to drastic population declines. Conservation programs, including anti-poaching patrols and habitat restoration, have been established to protect these majestic animals. Public awareness campaigns also play a crucial role in reducing demand for rhino horns and supporting their survival.
