Interesting Facts about Rhinos

The rhinoceros’ name, which is usually shortened to rhino, means “nose horn.” There are five species of rhinos. The white rhino and the black rhino are from Africa. The Indian rhino, the Javan rhino, and the Sumatran rhino are from Asia.

Did you know?

• White rhinos are the second largest land mammal on the planet, behind the elephant.
• The horn at the tip of the rhino’s nose is made out of the same material as your hair and fingernails. This material is called keratin.
• Rhinos can weigh more than 2,200 pounds.
• Rhinos are herbivores, which means they only eat plants.
• The black and white rhinos have two horns on their head.
• Rhinos have hooves with three toes.
• Rhinos can live to be 35 to 40 years old.

Rhinos are one of the most endangered species on the planet. There are about 400 Sumatran rhinos and less than 100 Javan rhinos left in the world. Humans hunt rhinos for their horns. However, some people do not like the practice of hunting for their horns because rhinos use them for self-defense against other animals and predators. In some cultures, people believe that rhino horns can cure fevers, food poisoning, and other illnesses.
