A  rhinoceros  (/raɪˈnÉ’sÉ™rÉ™s/; from  Ancient Greek  á¿¥á¿‘νόκερως  (rhÄ«nókerōs)  'nose-horned'; from  á¿¥á¿‘νός  (rhÄ«nós)  'nose', and  ÎºÎ­ÏÎ±Ï‚  (kéras)  'horn, commonly abbreviated to  rhino, is a member of any of the five  extant  species (or numerous extinct species) of  odd-toed ungulates  in the  family  Rhinocerotidae. (It can also refer to a member of any of the extinct species of the superfamily  Rhinocerotoidea.) Two of the extant species are native to  Africa, and three to  South  and  Southeast Asia.  Rhinoceroses are some of the largest remaining  megafauna: all weigh at least one  tonne  in adulthood. They have a  herbivorous  diet, small brains (400 “600  g) for mammals of their size, one or two horns, and a thick (1.5 “5  cm), protective skin formed from layers of  collagen  positioned in a  lattice  structure. They generally eat leafy material, although their ability to ferment food in their  hindgut  allows them to subsist on more fibrous plant matter when necessary. Unlike other  perissodactyls, the two African species of rhinoceros lack teeth at the front of their mouths; they rely instead on their lips to pluck food. Rhinoceros are killed by poachers for  their horns, which are bought and sold on the  black market  for high prices, leading to most living rhinoceros species being considered endangered. The contemporary market for rhino horn is overwhelmingly driven by China and  Vietnam, where it is bought by wealthy consumers to use in  traditional Chinese medicine, among other uses. Rhino horns are made of  keratin, the same material as  hair  and  fingernails, and there is no good evidence of any health benefits.  A market also exists for rhino horn dagger handles in Yemen, which was the major source of demand for rhino horn in the 1970s and 1980s Thanks for visiting Collectible Wildlife Gifts, the leading provider of high-quality, lifelike animal toys and gifts!
