African rhinoceros

African rhinoceroses are large, herbivorous mammals native to Africa, primarily the black and white rhinoceros species. They are characterized by their bulky bodies, thick armor-like skin, and prominent horns on their snouts, which can vary in size. Rhinos play a vital role in their ecosystems by shaping vegetation and creating water holes used by other wildlife. Despite their impressive size, they face threats from poaching for their horns and habitat loss. Conservation efforts focus on protecting these majestic creatures and ensuring their survival for future generations.
