All About RHINOS...
Rhinos have existed on Earth for more than 50 million years and have a glorious history. In the past, rhinos were much more diverse and widespread (occurring in North America and Europe as well as in Africa and Asia).
Today, only five species of rhino survive. These five species are further divided into 11 identified subspecies. All rhinos are under threat of, and all but one species is on the verge of, extinction. Without drastic action, some rhinos could be extinct in the wild within the next 10-20 years. Only 17,500 of these marvelous creatures survive in the wild with another 1,200 in captivity. Of these rhinos, more than two thirds are white rhinos. There are only around 6,500 of the other four species combined:
