RHINOS By Jaz
RHINO’S Rhinos are critically endangered because poachers believe that their horns, which are made of keratin, have magical or medicinal powers so they hunt and kill them, then they cut the horns off. .. ..
Help Me!!! L
There are five types of Rhinos: the White, Black, Indian, Sumatran and the most
critically endangered of all, the Javan.
White Rhinos have square lips to help them graze on all
different types of grasses while the Black Rhino have hooked
lips to help them take leaves off branches.
The Black rhino has no hair, three toes on each foot, two horns and
have tough, armour-like skin which can be from 1.5-5cm thick. That could be from the size of my
thumb to a HARRY POTTER BOOK.
The Sumatran and the White Rhinos also have two horns, while the Javan and Indian Rhinos only
have one.
Rhinos can weigh from 340-3,600kg
and grow over 180cm when
standing. White Rhinos have square lips to help them graze on all sorts of different
grasses while Black Rhinos have hooked
lips to help them take leaves off
branches.
INTERESTING FACTS Rhinos have very little eyes so they don’t have very good eyesight, yet they have an incredibly strong sense of smell and hearing. Rhinos are herbivores which means they only eat plants including: Grass , Tree Leaves, Flowers and Bushes, but no meat.
