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.

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.

It could be an even match-up between these two animals. Both hippos and rhinos have thick skin, and a hippo's jaws are powerful enough to cause a bit of damage to a rhino's hide. And yet a rhino has a horn that is sharp enough to gore the hippo. So it's possible that it could be a draw between these animals.

What is being done to save the rhinos?
Yes, efforts are being made to protect rhinos. Wildlife reserves have been designated for rhinos, Rangers patrol areas with rhinos to catch poachers before they can strike, and it is illegal to kill rhinos, or sell their horns. However, it sat ill isn't enough. Sophisticated poachers still manage to evade Rangers and sell horns, and the reserves are not large enough to protect them from habitat loss.
Whoever said no, they are wrong. An adult rhino against an adult lion would result in the rhino winning. The Rhino's muscle and weight dominates the likes of a single lion, and a whole pack of lions. No lion pack has ever taken down a Rhino that is not ill, wounded, or old. The lion is only stronger then a baby rhino. Lions need prey that isn't as strong and intimidating as the rhino, that's why their most common meal is gazelle and zebra. Very rare will they eat a Rhino Calf because it's Mother would be so protective, the lions would be risking their lives and allowing a risk of fatal wounds. The Rhino is so dangerous it has no predators, besides humans with their modern technology, if we lived like cavemen still, the adult rhino would not have a single predator. Rhinos have proven themselves to be at the top of being the most defensive animal on land.
