Since 1970, the Black Rhino population, native to southern and East Africa, has declined by 90% to less than 3,000. They are killed primarily for their horns. Trade of Rhinos has been banned for more than twenty years. Although having banned trading of the species, there still continues to be a great demand for Rhino parts.
Black rhinos are from eastern and central Africa.
According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature or the IUCN Red List, the following are listed with a status of "endangered". * Siberian Tigers * Black Rhinos * Gorillas For more details, please see sites listed below.
The black rhinoceros is found in Africa.
Black rhinos are herbivores primarily feeding on leaves, bushes, and shrubs, which places them at the primary consumer level in the food chain. Their main predators are large carnivores, such as lions and hyenas, though adult black rhinos have few natural enemies due to their size and defenses. In turn, the plants they consume are producers, forming the base of the food chain. Thus, the simplified food chain can be outlined as: plants → black rhinos → predators.
Black Rhinos are killed for their horns, which are in demand on the black market for their perceived medicinal properties and as a status symbol. Despite being illegal, the trade in rhino horns continues due to high demand in some Asian countries.
The black rhino is endangered.
I did
Poachers have almost eliminated rhinos from the earth. Black and white rhinos are now considered endangered. 90% of the white rhinos were poached in the last 10 years.
Albino Rhinos are not a species.
Black rhinos should not be endangered. They are an important part of the ecosystems where they are native, just like all species. If they go extinct, they can't be brought back. However, they are in danger from habitat loss and hunting. At least the fact that they are listed as endangered helps to protect them, because it is illegal to kill endangered species or sell their parts.
By people hunting and killing them for their horns. Only one of four species of Black Rhinos, Diceros bicornis longipes has tentatively been named extinct. Others are on the endangered list
yes, they arebecause people hunt them downpeople kill thempeople make things with their skin
They are supposedly real, they are pretty much white rhinos, and white rhinos are real, but endangered. :(
The rhinos
Yes, they are endangered. Poaching is the biggest threat to Rhinos in the wild. all of the 5 remaining species are endangered
It is a Critically endangered species, and there are about 3,600 wild Black Rhinos left in Africa.
Rhinos are hunted for there horns they have three, so people would make a fortune selling them. White rhinos are more endangered than black ones, male white rhinos live by there self so do female ones so rhat makes it harder for them to breed.
