Rhinoceros are becoming increasingly rare in the wild due to poaching. World Wildlife Fund reports that only 27,000 rhinos remain in the wild.
With an astonishing 7,700 lbs of body weight and reaching heights of 6 feet and 11 feet, these fascinating animals are the second-largest land mammals on earth (second only to elephants).
Seeing rhinos in their natural habitat is truly extraordinary. There are places where rhinos can be seen thanks to continuous efforts to protect this member of the Big Five.
