One-Horned Rhinoceros

The one-horned rhinoceros, also known as the Indian rhinoceros, is a large, herbivorous mammal native to the Indian subcontinent. It is characterized by its thick, armor-like skin and a single prominent horn on its nose. They typically live in swampy grasslands and forests, where they graze on grasses, aquatic plants, and berries. These gentle giants are social animals, often found in groups, and play a crucial role in their ecosystem by shaping their habitat. Due to habitat loss and poaching, they are considered vulnerable, with conservation efforts ongoing to protect their populations.
