Asian rhinoceros

Asian rhinoceroses are large, herbivorous mammals native to Asia, characterized by thick skin and prominent horns. There are five species, including the Indian rhinoceros, Javan rhinoceros, and Sumatran rhinoceros, each with unique features and habitats. They play a vital ecological role by shaping their environments through grazing and browsing. Due to habitat loss and poaching for their horns, many Asian rhinoceros populations are critically endangered, prompting conservation efforts worldwide. Protecting these animals is essential for maintaining biodiversity and ecological health in their native ranges.
