Rhinoceros: at the edge of depletion





Since ancient times, ants have been applauded for their wisdom. They get this honour due to their learning abilities – ability to correct mistakes, and hard working. Like human beings they have many excellent qualities due to which they manage to survive on earth. Its mean change is inevitable and changing according to existing surrounding is very necessary for survival. But many endangered species lack in the above qualities that’s why they are on their survival risk.
Same is going to be happened with rhinoceroses. They are also not doing much struggle for their survival, even they have been not competing for their food and shelters, that’s why they are on the edge of depletion and considered as endangered species due to their presence in minimum numbers.

Rhinoceroses are huge animals. They considered as endangered species because of rapid depletion in their numbers. Reduction normally occurs due to their precious horns which are mostly used as different medication or magic purposes.
White rhinoceros having not white colour but in fact they are of grey colour but due to light colour from its other relevant species they are called as white rhinoceros. They have approximately weight up to 1ton=2000 pounds=907.18kg. There size normally ranges from 7- 14 feet long. Skin is mostly 1.5 up to 5.0 cm thick which helps them to survive in hot and high temperature.

They normally prefer to get their food normally in the morning or at evening when solar radiations are not showing their peak reaction. In such hot hours they normally go near to muddy areas or ponds where they cover their thick and tough skin with mud. This muddy coating helps them as an insect’s repellent and cooling agent or sun block.
