For my endangered species project I chose the majestic Black Rhino.
“Between 1970 and 1993, the population of black rhinos decreased by 96% from approximately 65,000 to only 2,300 surviving in the wild. Since 1996, intense anti-poaching efforts and strategic translocations to safer areas have allowed the species to slowly recover.”

The scientific name of the Black Rhino is Diceros bicornis. This name comes from both greek and latin origins meaning “two horns”
Did you know…?
Black rhino horns are made of the same material as your fingernails. It’s called keratin!
Did you know…?
Black rhinos eat up to 30kg of food each day! That’s like 15 iPhones. Or 20 Macbooks. Or 50 basketballs!
