Question

say about black rhino..plz answer it fast

Answer 1

black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis), the third largest rhinoceros and one of two African species of rhinoceros. The black rhinoceros typically weighs between 700 and 1,300 kg (1,500 and 2,900 pounds); males are the same size as females. It stands 1.5 metres (5 feet) high at the shoulder and is 3.5 metres (11.5 feet) long. The black rhinoceros occupies a variety of habitats, including open plains, sparse thorn scrub, savannas, thickets, and dry forests, as well as mountain forests.
The black rhinoceros was originally widespread from the Cape of Good Hope to southwestern Angola and throughout eastern Africa as far as Somalia, parts of Ethiopia, and Sudan.
Rampant poaching reduced the total population to some 2,400 by 1995, but since then conservation efforts have brought the numbers up to more than 4,000. Black rhinoceroses now occupy a much smaller area, within which they are found in scattered pockets, many of them in parks and reserves.
As the value of rhinoceros horn touches $65,000 per kg, poaching has begun to drive the African black rhinoceros to “the verge of extinction” - by reducing its population size, but by erasing 70% of the species’ genetic diversity.

Black rhino is an endangered species and on the verge of extinction.

Answer 2

During the last century, the black rhino has suffered the most drastic decline in total numbers of all rhino species. Between 1970 and 1992, the population of this species decreased by 96%. In 1970, it was estimated that there were approximately 65,000 black rhinos in Africa – but, by 1993, there were only 2,300 surviving in the wild. The black rhino population is recovering and increasing very slowly, but the poaching threat remains great.

BIOLOGYThe black rhino lives in Africa, primarily in grasslands, savannahs and tropical bush lands.There are four black rhino sub-species.Black rhinos are browsers. Their prehensile upper lip is adapted for grasping and holding leaves and branches of shrubs and trees.Black rhinos can live to be 30-35 years in the wild.Gestation lasts approximately 15-16 months, and mothers give birth to one calf every 2.5-3 years.Females and sub-adults generally are social, but bulls are typically solitary.Adult female black rhinos have overlapping ranges and are not really as solitary as often portrayed. Males are generally solitary and may be territorial.CURRENT BLACK RHINO NUMBERS AND DISTRIBUTION

There are currently between 5,042 - 5,455 black rhinos surviving (IUCN African Rhino Specialist Group, 2016).
