Black rhino horn is primarily composed of keratin, the same protein that makes up human hair and nails. Unlike true horns, which have a bony core, rhino horns lack a skeletal base and are entirely made of tightly packed keratin fibers. This unique structure contributes to their hardness and shape. Rhino horn has been highly valued in traditional medicine and as a status symbol, leading to severe poaching and conservation challenges for the species.
