Rhinoceros

A rhinoceros or simply rhino is a large, odd-toed ungulate part of the family, Rhinocerotidae. There are five species of rhinoceros, with two being native to sub-Saharan Africa, the black rhinoceros and the white rhinoceros, and three in South and Southeastern Asia, the Indian rhinoceros, Javan rhinoceros, and Sumatran rhinoceros. Rhinoceroses are one of the largest living megafauna, with all species weighing at least one tonne in adulthood. They have a herbivorous diet, mainly feeding on leafy plants, one or two horns, small brains for a large mammal, and a thick protective skin in a lattice structure. Rhinoceros are often killed by poachers for their horns, which are bought and sold in the black market for high prices, which leads to three of the five rhinoceros species to be critically endangered.
