World Rhino Day Facts & Quotes

There are all five species of rhino: black, white, greater one-horned rhinos, Javan and Sumatran. All Rhinoceros are herbivores, meaning that they only consume plants, and lots of them.

The Black, Javan and Sumatran Rhinoceros species are all listed as Critically Endangered, meaning that they have a 50% change of extinction within 3 generations.

In 1960, there were more than 2,000 Northern White Rhinos in Africa. Today, there are only 3 of them remaining and all 3 are held in captivity in Kenya with round-the-clock armed security against poaching.

The white rhino is the second largest land mammal on Earth after the elephant. White rhinos can weigh over 3500kg (7700lbs).
