animal's world
Other organisms were evolved, in the animal kingdom, they evolved separately.
Animals have their own muscular systems by movement, as well as the tissues and organs that have been formed.
Keep track of these animals. The animal kingdom contains as many different all over the world. and the following sections will be devoted to the discussion of the rhinoceros, its different species, and its behaviors.
Rhino
It is a type of mammal that feeds mainly on vegetation.
Some rhinos have front teeth that help them capture food, while others rely on their lips. The rhinoceros is a unicorn, and it is also one of the largest remaining giant animals on the world's surface, weighing more than one ton.
These animals are also distinguished by keratinized horns, some species have one horn, others have two.
These animals have a thick collagen-based skin layer that ranges in thickness from 1.5 to 5 cm.
Rhinos live in herds and tend to congregate near water sources, and they prefer to consume green plants, but they can also eat high-fiber foods due to their capacity to ferment food in their digestive tract when necessary, and there are many different varieties of endangered rhinos.
The reason for this is that it has been overfished and has been attacked by various predators. Rhinoceros Types After discussing the rhinoceros, it is vital to discuss its habitat.
Types of rhinoceros
types, which range in color and size, as well as the region in which this animal lives, and types, which differ in the number of teeth.
Some types of rhinoceros will be discussed in the following paragraphs, based on their traits and the number of horns they have:
- The Sumatran rhinoceros is the world's smallest and oldest rhinoceros, weighing up to 1000 kg. This species' males and females both have horns. This species is only found in the Sumatran jungles, and its skin is covered with short red hair. The Sumatran rhinoceros is on the verge of extinction, with only 300 individuals remaining.
- Indian Rhino: This rhinoceros has a skin that looks like armor plates, as well as one horn, and its skin is grey in color with flat layers. Agriculture is practiced in the areas where it is inhabited.
- The white rhino is the largest species of rhino in the world, with males weighing up to 2,300 kilograms and females weighing up to 1,700 kilograms. Its skin is covered in short grey hair, and both sexes have two horns. It can also be found in South Africa's driest savannah. And, in the past, this species was on the point of extinction due to excessive hunting by Europeans.
Rhino behavioral patterns
There are currently less than 30,000 living individuals of this animal, which is extremely low for a mammal that lived 50 million years ago.
To defend itself from predators, this species adjusts its behavior according to the weather, staying near the water in extreme hot or cold temperatures.
The rhino's highest speed is 30 miles per hour, and it cannot stop quickly after reaching that speed. However, his body helps absorb shocks.
Female rhinos are usually attracted to males with larger and more prominent horns in the breeding season, and it takes 15 to 16 months, with the female weaning her young when they are two months old, and the rhinoceros has poor eyesight compared to other animals, which makes it very dangerous, especially when it speeds up, and female rhinos are usually attracted to males with larger and more prominent horns in the breeding season, and it takes 15 to 16 months, with the female weaning her young
Rhino horns are used in a variety of ways.
The rhinoceros' horns are different from those of other mammals with horns in that they are made entirely of keratin, which is used in many countries for a variety of purposes, leading to overfishing of these animals for their horns.
Traditional medicines are made from the horns of this animal in several parts of Asia, while dagger handles are made in Yemen and Oman. These horns were utilized as an antidote to toxins and as an aphrodisiac in ancient times since it was thought that they helped purify water and reveal harmful liquids. These horns are traded.
widely spread in Vietnam, where the price of an average size horn can reach a quarter of a million dollars, and as a result, international trade in rhinoceros horns has been made illegal under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and it is believed in China that these horns work as a cure for cancers, fevers, and convulsions, but this is not a treatment that is supported by evidence-based medicine, as China
