Black Rhino
Black Rhino - a large and mighty animal. On his head is usually two horns, but in some places three or even five. Anterior horn is the largest, most often the length of 40-60 cm.
Areal
Most of Rhinos live in protected areas in Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and South Africa. They are better
adapted to the arid and semi-arid savannas of Namibia, southern Angola, western Botswana and western South Africa.
Population
The total number of black rhinos now is about 3.5 thousand individuals. In the last 10-15 years, the number of black rhinoceros is generally relatively
stable, but in separate populations usually changes.
Endangered
Rhinos are killed by humans for their horns, which are bought and sold on the black market, and which are used by some cultures for ornamental or medicinal purposes. Now Black Rhinos are critically endangered.
