Javan and Indian rhinos have one horn, where as the white, black and Sumatran rhinos have two.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)<\/strong> These incredible creatures are some of the biggest animals in world! The largest of the five species is the white rhino, which can grow to <strong>1.8m tall<\/strong> and and weigh a massive <strong>2,500kg<\/strong> \u2013 that\u2019s the weight of 30 men!<\/p>\n<p><strong>4)<\/strong> Despite their huge size and strength, these bulky beasts don\u2019t prey on other animals for food. They\u2019re <strong>herbivores<\/strong>, and instead like to munch on lots of grass and plants at night, dawn and dusk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5)<\/strong> During the heat of the day, these magnificent mammals can be found sleeping in the shade or wallowing in muddy pools to cool off. <strong>They<em> love<\/em> to get mucky<\/strong>, in fact! Mud protects their skin from the strong sun (like a natural sunblock) and wards off biting bugs, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6)<\/strong> For the most part, rhinoceroses are <strong>solitary animals<\/strong> and like to avoid each other. But some species, particularly the white rhino, may live in a group, known as a \u2018<strong>crash<\/strong>\u2019. These crashes are usually made up of a female and her calves, although sometimes adult females (called cows) can be seen together, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7)<\/strong> Males (called \u2018<strong>bulls<\/strong>\u2019), on the other hand, like to be left alone, unless in search of a female to breed with. They&#8217;re <strong>very territorial<\/strong>, too, and mark out their area of land with, believe it or not, poop! In fact, rhinos often use pongy piles to communicate with each other, since each individual\u2019s dung smells unique.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8)<\/strong> They may rarely hang out with each other, but they spend a lot of time with their feathered friends! Rhinos are often seen with <strong>Oxpeckers<\/strong> (or \u2018tick birds\u2019) perched on their back, which live off the pesky parasitic insects living in the rhino\u2019s thick skin. The birds\u2019 loud cries also help alert their big buddies of potential danger, too!<\/p>\n<p><strong>9)<\/strong> Because of their huge bodies, strong horns and thick, armour-like skin, rhinos have <strong>no natural predators<\/strong>. Nevertheless, these brilliant beasts get frightened easily! When they feel threatened, they\u2019re instinct is to charge directly at whatever has spooked them &#8211; whether it be another animal or a harmless object!<\/p>\n<p><strong>10)<\/strong> Sadly, it\u2019s estimated that there are only around <strong>29,000 rhinos left in the wild<\/strong>, compared to 500,000 at the beginning of the 20th century. The main threat to these beautiful animals is <strong>illegal hunting<\/strong>, largely because their horns are used in traditional folk medicine, particularly in Asia.
