"Endangered Species"

The Diceros bicornis is also called Black Rhinoceros.

The black rhino lives in tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas and deserts.
The east coast of Africa and Central Africa including Kenya, Tanzania, Cameroon, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Angola are the only places where you can find a black rhino.

The colour of the black rhino can vary from brown to gray. The adult rhino normally weights between 800-1400 kg and its height is between 140-180 cm high.

The rhinos have become extinct due to climate change.
European hunters have also been responsible for the extinction of the black rhino. About five or six rhinos were killed in a day to eat or just for fun.
