Black Rhino
ENDANGERED SPECIES This black rhino male lives at the Dallas Zoo, where several other members of this species reside. There are dwindling numbers of black rhinos in the wild. Their thick layered skin protects the rhino from thorns and sharp grasses. and theirr skin harbors many external parasites. They have terrible eyesight, relying more on hearing and smell. They have large ears that rotate much like satellite dishes to detect any sound and a large nose that has an excellent sense of smell to detect predators.The Black Rhinoceros has been pushed to the brink of extinction by illegal poaching for their horn and by loss of habitat. The horn is used in traditional Chinese medicine, and is said by herbalists to be able to revive comatose patients, cure fevers and aid male sexual stamina and fertility. The Black Rhino has a reputation for being extremely aggressive. They attack out of fear, confusion and panic. Due to their very poor eyesight they will charge if they sense a threat. They are very fast and can get up to speeds of 35 miles per hour running on their toes NEARLY EXTINCT in the wild.
