World Rhino Day

Rhinos are being hunted for their precious horns which gives a "medicinal" value. But horns are made from the same stuff that  makes your fingernail and hair. It offers no medical cure for anything. Unfortunately, merchants just want to cash in on this.
                                                                                       There's FIVE Rhino Species:  

Javan Rhino - There are less than 50 Javan Rhinos. The Vietnamese and Indian Javan are extinct. Just 50 left? Lets hope that they are safe somewhere now.

Sumatran Rhino - There are less than 200 Rhinos. Their habitat is being destroyed because farmers are using it to produce and sell palm oil. Palm oil is nothing compared to an Animal's life. So they should use the land they already have, and not ruin the Animal's habitat.

Black Rhino - There are 4,860 left. The West African Rhino subspecies became extinct in 2006.

Indian/One-Horned Rhino - There are about 3,000 left. 

White Rhino - There are only SEVEN Northern White Rhinos left. The Southern White Rhino are about 20,000, thanks to conservation efforts. (That's really close to extinction, I really hope those LAST SEVEN Northern White Rhinos are kept safely in a Wildlife program.)

Some interesting facts about Rhinos would be:
1.Rhinos have existed on Earth for 50 Million years!2.The Greater One-Horned Rhino can reach 6.5 Feet Tall!
3.Rhino horns are made of Keratin like hair and fingernails. (Well, that certainly is interesting.)

4.The entire Rhino Population has been decreased by 95% since 1970 due to poaching and loss of shelter and space

(That's really bad, Lets hope that they can reproduce, since it wouldn't be so great if they went extinct.)

According to scientists, At the current rate of poaching rhinos could disappear by 2026, All the poaching is really bad for the Rhinos, specially because they use them for money. and possibly kill them for their horn, or other supplements.
