RHINO DAY - 21 September 2013
WHITE RHINO: White Rhinos are divided into two distinct subspecies: The Northern White Rhino and the Southern White Rhino. (visit the White Rhino page ...)
BLACK RHINO: Black Rhinos are slowly recovering from a 96% decline in population, and are now up to about 4,860 surviving today, thanks to conservation efforts. (visit the Black Rhino page...)
INDIAN/GREATER ONE-HORNED RHINO: The Indian, a.k.a. the Greater One-Horned Rhino, or Nepalese Rhino numbers approximately 3,000 today, thanks to conservation efforts. (visit the Greater-One Horned Rhino page ...)
SUMATRAN RHINO: The Sumatran Rhino, a.k.a. the Hairy Rhino, has suffered a 50% decline in numbers over the last 15 years, due to fragmented habitat, destuction of habitat for palm oil, and unrestricted hunting in the 19th and 20th centuries. (visit the Sumatran Rhino page ...)
JAVAN RHINO: With fewer than 50 Javan Rhinos surviving in only one known location, the Javan Rhino is quite possibly the most critically endangered mammal on earth. (visit the Javan Rhino page ...)
