There is no species called "Black Rhino Tiger" that I could find any information about, or a listing with IUCN Red List concerning their endangered status. There is however a species called "Black Rhino", that is "critically endangered" according to the IUCN Red List. Also there is a species called "Tigers"with a status of "endangered" also listed on the IUCN Red List. The Black Rhino suffers from illegal poaching for their horns. The horns are usually sold into the black market and make their way into Traditional Chinese Medicines. The Tigers causation is generally the same, just the body parts are different. Generally most of the tiger can be sold for use in some fashion, but the internal organs and bones are what drives the value at the black market. Mostly these are sold at black markets and again they make their way into Traditional Chinese Medicines. This coupled with severe habitat loss creates terrible pressures on the species. Many groups are working with local governments to set aside safe, and guarded lands where these animals can grow and flourish. For more details, please see sites listed below.
