Rhinoceros, also called Rhinos, are an animal species native to Africa and Asia that have horns near their noses. They grow to be very large with animals weighing in at over one ton not unusual. The animals are endangered mainly because their horns are highly prized for folk medicine in certain cultures, making them targets for poachers.
