Indian Rhinoceros

The Indian rhinoceros is a rhinoceros species that is indigenous to the Indian subcontinent. It is also known as the Indian rhino, greater one-horned rhinoceros, or great Indian rhinoceros. Due to fragmented populations that are confined to an area of fewer than 20,000 km2, it is categorized as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Additionally, it is believed that human and livestock encroachment has reduced the size and quality of the alluvial Terai-Duar savanna, grasslands, and riverine forest, the rhino's most crucial habitat.

Indian rhinos, also known by their scientific name Rhinoceros unicornis, are among the most hazardous creatures in Asia due to their propensity for causing significant harm. These ferocious and unpredictable animals are best avoided because of their armor-plated exterior and enormous size.

A huge Indian rhino can grow to be 2 meters tall and weigh up to 4 tons. The Indian rhino, which can go at speeds of 60 km/h, has poor eyesight, but it also has a violent temper and is inclined to charge at the slightest provocation. The rhino in India is most prone to attack anything, even tigers and trucks. However, due to the usage of its horn in traditional Chinese medicine, it is sadly threatened.
