Rhinos Endangered species This WWF-UK funded report was released internationally in August 2002. The report highlighted the plight of the Sumatran rhino, which has suffered a 50 per cent decline in its population since the mid-90s when the population dropped from 600 to 300 today. It also records the continued success of the Javan Rhino Programme in Indonesia, where no poaching has been recorded for several years, although the number of rhinos remains at 50 - 60 animals. In addition, despite the loss of 15 rhinos in a five-month spate of poaching in Nepal, the populations of one-horned rhino continue to increase and now total over 2000 animals throughout its range. The report provided an opportunity for WWF to advocate its landscape approach to rhino conservation and to reinforce the WWF-UK campaign message on illegal wildlife trade.
Extractions: Line art (1.7 K image) Line art (2.3 K image) Line art (7.0 K image) [US FWS Line Art by Robert Savannah] Prehistoric rhinoceroses, some larger than elephants, some the size of wolves, were found on every continent except South America and Australia. Today, there are five species of rhino: two African species and three Asian. The African species are the white, or square-lipped, and the black rhinos. Both species have two horns. Of the Asian species, the Indian and the Javan each have a single horn, while the Sumatran rhino has two. The word rhinoceros means "horn-nosed," and rhinos use their horns for several purposes. They use them to shovel the ground for mineral salt; to fight over territory or a female, or during courtship; and to defend themselves and their young against lions, tigers and hyenas. Like buffalos and elephants, rhinos are very near-sighted. They can only see clearly up to about 30 feet away. The lateral placement of their eyes causes them to turn their heads from side to side to see straight ahead. Rhinos' extremely acute senses of hearing and smell compensate for their poor eyesight. Rhinos are able to pinpoint the origin of a sound and charge at it. They use their highly developed sense of smell to identify other rhinos, keep track of their young and identify predators.
Extractions: Bagheera has been designed to either provide more information about the endangered species issue, or as a way to take action. Combined with Endangered Earth , Bagheera.com provides all the necessary information and resources for individuals to become more knowledgeable about this important issue, and to make a difference. The Endangered Animals of the World The purpose of this ongoing project is to allow students from all over the world a chance to help foster knowledge and appreciation for the plight of the many thousands of endangered animals of the Earth. Students will gain valuable skills for researching, collaborating and telecommunicating while sharing their information with people around the world. Endangered Specie.com

Extractions: Diceros Bicornis The black rhino's height ranges from 3 ½ ft to 6 ½ ft. (107cm-198cm) The weight of the black rhino ranges from 2,240lb-5,000lb. (1,016kg-2,268) The black rhino's legs are short and strong, eyes are small, ears are wide, upper lip is large, and has bristles of hair on the rhino's ears and tails. The black rhino eats shrubs, leafy twigs, and grasses for example elephant grass. The rhino's mom is pregnant with one rhino baby for 8-16 months. After 8-16 months one rhino baby is born. The rhino baby stays with his mother for 2.5 years. When a second rhino baby is born the older rhino is chased away by the mother, temporarily. The black rhino lives in areas like grasslands, shrubby areas, and dense forests. The location of most rhino's is Africa and southern and southeastern Asia. Female rhino's may form small groups and roam around together. Male rhino's roam alone, and families roam together. Many people wanted the black rhino's gigantic horns, for making medical potions. People wanted their horns because they sold for $16,535-$22,046 per horn.
SchoolWorld Endangered Species Project: Javan Rhinoceros endangered/threatened species Report But recently these big creatures have become endangered. This species is commonly known as the Javan rhinoceros. http://www.schoolworld.asn.au/species/javan.html
Extractions: This species is commonly known as the Javan rhinoceros. To scientists it is the rhinoceros sondaicus. It gives birth to live young so therefore it is a mammal. The Javan rhinoceros is a very large animal. It is 210 to 400 centimeters long. They are usually 110 to 180 centimeters tall and weigh 2 to 3.5 tons. Their skin is usually dark gray and very wrinkled. This particular species usually has one horn that is up to ten inches long. This animal is usually solitary. They have developed a keen sense of hearing and smelling. Their Their horn could poke a sizable hole in a car door. This animal's habitat is usually wet and rainy. It lives in tropical rain forests covering parts of Indonesia and Vietnam. These extraordinary creatures spend almost half their time eating. The Javan rhinoceros has habits that are very peculiar. This animal's habits include wallowing in mud, fighting with others, and finding food for themselves. Their diet consists of shoots, twigs, young foliage, grass, and reeds. Although they are big, a Javan rhinoceros can gallop at speeds ranging from 21 to 35 miles an hour. They can drink 15 to 25 gallons of water a day.
Endangered Species: Rhinoceros The rhinoceros could hardly be described as an attractive beast. CITES bans international commercial trade in species threatened with extinction, http://www.un.org/works/environment/animalplanet/rhino.html
Extractions: The rhinoceros could hardly be described as an attractive beast. Its massive build, short stout legs, rough hairless hide and two stout horns protruding from the front of the nose, give it a prehistoric look. For the record, the black rhino is no more black than the white rhino is white; both are dark gray, with the black rhino slightly darker. The black rhinoceros, with its three toes, belongs to the perissodactyla or "odd-toed" group of mammals, which take the main weight of the body axed on the central toe of each foot (like the horse). It stands more than one and a half metres high and three metres long, with a short hairy-tipped tail. Unlike the antlers of a deer, the horns of a rhino are not made of bone but of closely packed hair-line keratin fibres, similar to the substance of nails and hooves, growing from the skin.
