Best Answer

According to the World Wildlife Fund and IUCN Red List, the Black Rhinoceros is critically endangered as of 2015.

Although their populations are slowly increasing as a result of conservation efforts, they are still at huge risk from poachers.

Their scientific name is diceros bicornis and they are literally living fossils, being one of the oldest and longest surviving mammals.
