1. All about how
and why rhinos
are endangered
Rhinos By Dana

2. Species
There are five different types of rhinos such
as: Indian, Javan, Sumatran, Black and
White. All rhinos are critically endangered
because poachers kill them for their horns.
Rhinos need their horns for protecting their
young and themselves. People sell rhino
horns for lots of money.

3. Habitat
Rhinos live in three different places. The
Javan and Sumatran rhinos are from south-
east Asia, the Black and White rhinos are
from Africa and the Indian rhino lives in
India.

4. Appearance
All species of rhinos are herbivores, as they
eat foods such as grass, trees and bushes. A
Black Rhino has a hooked lip that works like
a hand to help grab the leaves off trees. In
contrast the white rhinos have a squared lip.

5. Statistics
There are only approximately 24 000
rhinoceroses left in the world. The reason for
that is because they are being poached for
their horns.

6. Interesting Facts
All rhinos have very poor eyesight despite
this their hearing is excellent. Rhinos use
really funny ways of communicating, such
as droppings! Rhinos are also very docile
animals and they will only charge if they
feel threatened or in danger.
