Are Rhinos Becoming Extinct?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The rhino is a very large, primitive animal. It has looked the same for thousands of years. It has not changed at all. There are two different types of rhinos. There are black rhinos and white rhinos. Both of these rhinos look basically the same. Both of them have two horns on their head, but the black rhino has three toes on each foot.  Their horns are made of keratin. Keratin is the same stuff that is found in human fingernails and hair.  The black rhino is almost extinct. There are only about 3,500 black rhino in existence. However, there are around 11,000 white rhinos in existence. The rhino is slowly becoming extinct. There used to be other types of rhinos such as the Indian rhino and the Sumatran Rhino, but they are extinct.

    There are several foundations that are trying to preserve the few rhinos that are left in the world.
