What is The symbiosis of the rhino and the tick bird?
I don't know if there is a thing called a "tick bird" or not, but the bird that rides
on a rhino, and eats parasites off of it's hide,
is a part of a symbiotic relationship for sure:
The bird gets food.
The rhino loses annoying parasites.
Both animals are in symbiosis. (mutually benefiting)
The bird eats the ticks off the rhino's back and warns the rhino of any danger (mutualism). The bird also eats the blood from sores on the rhino's skin and it prevents them from healing (parasitism).
What are the consequences of killing a rhino?
The consequence is that the future generations will classify the current living people, (those ones who kill undefended animals) as assassins, mentally insanes, and all of us are responsible to defend innocent animals that live on their territory and makes no harm to us.
people are trying their best to preserve the poor critturs from extinction. but poachers and hunters are not helping nor is mother nature on your side. They have currently started microchipping and cutting the horns of the rhinos so that is harder for poachers to steal their horns. they have also built private reserves and moved them to safari parks and zoos and used breeding programs. there is hope for the Rhinos and humanity isn't giving in just yet.
Who will win in a fight between a bull and a rhino?
A rhino has a ton of muscle, strong giant horn, longer body, and better bulk than an ox. In fact, rhinos weigh 4 tons, which is quite a lot, and thick hide is built for the rhino to protect itself from the ox's hooves and horns.
No, that's hippos. Hippos do it because they have very fair skin, and the red pigment in their sweat acts as a sunscreen and stops them from burning up.
What country do rhinos come from?
There are 5 species of Rhinoceros, each living in a different area:
- The White Rhinoceros - These are normally found in one of five countries, all in Africa, South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Kenya and Uganda.
- The Black Rhinoceros - These animals are one the brink of extinction, although they could once be found across the Savannah in western Africa.
- The Indian Rhinoceros - This creature once roamed areas of Pakistan, Burma and Bangladesh and may have even been seen in China. Now however, due to declining numbers, they can only be found in small populations in north-east India and areas of Nepal.
- The Javan Rhinoceros - This is the rarest of all mammals, not just in the Rhino families, but right across the animal kingdom. There are thought to be just 30 or 40 animals left in the wild and these are confined to very small areas. They could once be found right across Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and into Thailand and Malaysia. Now however they are fond in two small areas. A population of about 14 animals lives in an area of lowland forest in the Cat Tien National Park in Vietnam, and about 30 animals in the Ujung Kulon National Park on the western tip of the island of Java.
The Sumatran Rhinoceros - This Rhino is also endangered and when it once roamed large areas of Malaysia, but now are confined to small areas in Burma, Bangladesh and easterType your answer here...
What is the average lifespan of a javan rhino?

Why people kill the rhinos to get the horn?
Poachers kill rhinoceroses, whether they have one or two horns, because in parts of Asia, especially China, rhinoceros horn is highly valued as a medicine. However, rhinoceros horn can be harvested from live rhinoceroses without harming them, and it will then grow back. Unfortunately, it is not currently legal to sell farmed rhinoceros horn. If farmed rhinoceros horn were legal, poachers would probably be put out of business.

A healthy deer that is not killed by unnatural means can live up to 10 years of age and in some rare cases a little longer, however, the typical life span of a deer is hard to estimate because of hunter's, car kills, etc. The averafe lifespan is 3-4 years old for most populations and a deer has been documented to have lived 19 years, very rare.
What do you call the sound made by a giraffe?
It doesn't make a sound.

What are the reasons for he increase in rhino poaching?
Elephant tusks are made of ivory, which is used in jewelry. Poachers kill the elephants and take the tusks because ivory can bring a huge profit, especially in large quantities. Killing elephants for ivory is now illegal in most African countries. Rhinos are now being poached as well.
The rhino's horn is a particularly precious ingredient in Chinese herbal medicine. Its value is comparable to gold.
And just for the perverse pleasure of the hunt I suppose.
All rhino species are in trouble from poaching more than any other factor.The black rhino is in the most trouble,with wild numbers in the low hundreds.Rhino poachers kill them for the horn,which supposedly has medicinal properties.This has proven to be false,and rhinos continue to be poached,despite protective measures.
Indonesian Rhino's live in the Rainforest, but other Rhino's live in the Suvannah (Grasslands)
I hope this information helps!!!
In some cases, elephants have caused damage to farms that were built in their traditional habitats. This has led to controlled hunting, but also to relocation.
In many cases they are killed for the ivory in their tusks, which is still a valuable commodity in the Third World despite modern alternatives.
