Rhinos are shot or caught because of their horn, their skin and their flesh. Certainly, rhinos have always been hunted throughout the centuries; their flesh was eaten, their skin tanned and their blood, urine and bones used as medication. But recently, the rhino horn is most valued. Xo, Smartiiz.

Most would say because they are angry, but the truth is, a rhino is not a very smart animal. Their eyesight is also very poor. If they look at something they cannot identify, they will charge at it.
