Ancient Giant in Crisis

Conservation Status: Critically Endangered
- Population: Approximately 6,195 individuals (98% decline since 1960)
- Habitat: Savannas, shrublands, and deserts of Eastern and Southern Africa
- Main Threat: Poaching for horns (illegal wildlife trade)
- Recovery: Population slowly increasing thanks to intensive protection
- Lifespan: 35-50 years in the wild
Fascinating Facts:
- Black rhinos can weigh up to 1,400 kg despite being smaller than white rhinos
- Their hooked upper lip helps them browse on leaves and branches
- Despite poor eyesight, they have excellent hearing and sense of smell
- Black rhinos can run up to 55 km/h when charging
- Their horns are made of keratin (like human hair and nails), not bone
- Mothers are fiercely protective and will charge any perceived threat
A Species on the Edge:
In 1960, an estimated 100,000 black rhinos roamed Africa. By 1995, relentless poaching had reduced their numbers to just 2,410—a catastrophic 98% decline. Their horns, falsely believed to have medicinal properties, fetch astronomical prices on the black market. Thanks to intensive anti-poaching efforts, armed guards, and community conservation programs, black rhino numbers are slowly recovering. But they remain critically endangered, with every individual precious to the species' survival.
