Rhinoceros (Rhinocerotidae)

Rhinoceroses, belonging to the family Rhinocerotidae, are large, herbivorous mammals known for their thick, armor-like skin and prominent horns on their noses. They primarily inhabit Africa and parts of Asia, thriving in savannas, grasslands, and forests. Rhinos are important to their ecosystems as mega-herbivores, shaping the landscape by grazing and browsing. They are generally solitary or live in small groups and face threats from poaching and habitat loss. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these iconic species from declining populations and ensure their survival for future generations.
