Best Answer

Also called the Indian Rhinoceros, the Greater One Horned Rhino is endangered because of poaching and habitat destruction. Poachers kill the animals for their tusks as the ivory can be sold for a high price on the black market. Their habitat is lost due to deforestation for agriculture.
