Best Answer

Poachers are interested in any marketable animal that is available.
Poachers kill a varity of animals mostly for horns and other goods that would be very expensive in the black market.
People will poach any animals that is perceived as potentially valuable. rhinocerouses and elephants are well known for being hunted for their ivory, large cats are hunted for their pelts, and even animals like bears are hunted not only for their pelts but to sell their spleen and genitals on the black market, as they are considered to be an effective form of alternative medicine in china.
