Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros

The Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros, also known as the Indian rhinoceros, is a large, herbivorous mammal native to the Indian subcontinent, primarily Nepal and India. It is distinguished by its thick, armor-like skin with ringed folds and a single prominent horn on its nose. They typically inhabit dense grasslands and forests near water sources, which they rely on for cooling and feeding. Despite their size, they are generally peaceful. Conservation efforts focus on protecting their habitats and addressing poaching, as they are classified as vulnerable due to habitat loss and illegal hunting.
