Do any animals prey on rhinos?
Not exactly. Sizes & weights of the rhinos would pose such a dangerous adversary for any carnivore since none of the beasts in their habitat is neither large nor strong enough to overpower them, not to mention the tough skin layer & rigid muscle tissue supporting such huge body structure. And though many have labelled the most basic function of their horns as a means for protection, the fact that many de-horned rhinos roam their terrains without being attacked nor preyed upon by any surrounding animals, carnivorous nor otherwise, clearly indicates that rhinos neither need nor depend on the horn for protection against any predators, and any rare isolated incidents of such an occurrence would be no more than a strange & unusual exception more likely resulting from extreme conditions in no way typical of natural wildlife.
Nevertheless, if rhinos have a need for protectionagainst a deadly predator, it would only need it against human ( or rather 'inhumane') poachers who kill them for their hornswhich they sell more often than not relying on consumers' false convictions of certain medicinal products & ornamental objects having exotic or exceptional uses when extracted from or carved out of rhino horns, none of which has ever been scientifically confirmed as containing such inherently beneficial qualities relative of any human needs in any field by any modern officially-certified, scholarly-acknowledged, integritously-validated Authority outside the realms of traditional folklore & superstitious beliefs. This reality, by logical deduction, would make human poachers as well as consumers of rhino horn materials thus threatening their continuous survival to this day the single one and only actual deadly predator that rhinos have ever had to suffer or fear since the rise of human civilization till the present time.
In conclusion, it would effectively prevent their extinction if all products originating from their helpless beautiful bodies are not purchased nor used and are all together substituted by any other products or goods that are harmlessly produced or acquired while educating the world on the necessity to stop such practices which would inevitably disrupt the natural balance of life on Earth, the far reaching ramifications of which the limits are dangerously uncertain against the interest of all form of life since all are bound to be eventually effected from such major disruption at one point or an other. On a last note: Let us humans NOT be the animals who prey on rhinos since the rest of the Animal Kingdom unanimously saw fit to allow them to live in peace un-preyed upon!

No, the Rhinoceros is a herbivore and eats grasses, leaves and fruit. They eat allot too, but they don't eat Tigers, or other animals. Also water is very important to them, both to drink and to swim, and to wallow in. Mud helps them stay cool, and protect their skin from biting insects, they even allow the Egrets and Tickbirds to perch on them and pick them clean. For more details, please sites listed below.
it might be able to, but is hugely unlikely to try.
Rhinos are herbivores, plant eaters, and wouldn't eat a tiger.

What is the reason for animal become extinct?
Here are some reasons that some species become extinct:
Thyllacine, the "marsupial wolf" was hunted into extinction, as was the passenger pigeon and probably the moa.
Competition for resources can drive species into extinction.
Disease and predators also take their toll.
Insecticides like DDT weaken bird egg shells so that fewer of them hatch.
Loss of habitat is yet another factor.

Are rhinoceros difficult to take care of?
A rhino is not an animal that would be an easy pet. First and foremost, you would need various permits and probably training to be allowed to own a live rhino (owning a dead rhino is completely illegal). Second, you would need a sufficiently large property for an animal weighing one to two tons to have enough vegetation to eat, and they would have to be the right kinds of plants. You would have to provide fresh water, veterinary care, and anything else that they require. You would also have to note that a startled rhino can be very dangerous, even lethal to humans. They would be quite expensive to take care of as well. However, people who work in animal sanctuaries to conserve endangered species, such as rhinos, usually find the experience very rewarding.
