was approximately 4 000 kg 8 800 lb 50 indian rhinos once inhabited many areas ranging from pakistan to myanmar and maybe even parts of china because of humans they now exist in only several protected areas of india in assam west bengal and a few pairs in uttar pradesh and nepal plus a pair in lal suhanra national park in pakistan reintroduced there from nepal they are confined to the tall grasslands and forests in the foothills of the himalayas two thirds of the world s indian rhinoceroses are now confined to the kaziranga national park situated in the golaghat district of assam india 51 javan main article javan rhinoceros the javan rhinoceros rhinoceros sondaicus is one of the most endangered large mammals in the world 52 according to 2015 estimates only about 60 remain in java indonesia all in the wild it is also the least known rhino species like the closely related and larger indian rhinoceros the javan rhino has a single horn its hairless hazy gray skin falls into folds

lowland rain forest tall grass and reed beds that are plentiful with large floodplains and mud wallows though once widespread throughout asia by the 1930s they were nearly hunted to extinction in nepal india burma peninsular malaysia and sumatra for the supposed medical powers of their horns and blood as of 2015 only 58 61 individuals remain in ujung kulon national park java indonesia the last known javan rhino in vietnam was reportedly killed for its horn in 2011 by vietnamese poachers now only java contains the last javan rhinos 55 56 57 58 sumatran main article sumatran rhinoceros the sumatran rhinoceros dicerorhinus sumatrensis is the smallest extant rhinoceros species as well as the one with the most hair it can be found at very high altitudes in borneo and sumatra because of habitat loss and poaching their numbers have declined and it has become the second most threatened rhinoceros about 275 sumatran rhinos are believed to remain there are three subspecies of sumatran rhinoceros the sumatran rhinoceros proper dicerorhinus sumatrensis sumatrensis the bornean rhinoceros dicerorhinus sumatrensis harrissoni and the possibly extinct northern sumatran rhinoceros

brown the body is short and has stubby legs the lip is prehensile sumatran rhinoceros once were spread across south east asia but now are on the verge of extinction confined to several parts of indonesia and malaysia by reproductive isolation citation needed it has been found through dna comparison that the sumatran rhinoceros is the most ancient extant rhinoceros and related to the extinct eurasian woolly rhino species coelodonta in 1994 alan rabinowitz publicly denounced governments non governmental organizations and other institutions for lacking in their attempts to conserve the sumatran rhinoceros to conserve it they would have to relocate them from small forests to breeding programs that could monitor their breeding success to boost reproduction the malaysian and indonesian governments could also agree to exchange the gametes of the sumatran and smaller bornean subspecies the indonesian and malaysian governments have also proposed a single management unit for these two ancient subspecies 59 60 61 evolution skeleton of paraceratherium an extinct rhinocerotoid belonging to paraceratheriidae and one of the largest land mammals ever the earliest representatives of rhinocerotoidea appeared during the early middle eocene in asia around 54 million years ago 62 the family of modern rhinoceroses rhinocerotidae appeared during the middle late eocene around 39 40 million years ago roughly at the same in north america and asia 63 with rhinoceroses migrating into europe at the eocene oligocene boundary 34 million years ago as part of the grande coupure along with many other asian migrants 64 rhinocerotids represented the only living family of rhinocerotoids following the end of the oligocene epoch around 23 million and the extinction of other rhinocerotoid groups such as the giant paraceratheres 64 during the early miocene epoch around 20 million years ago rhinocerotids migrated into africa following its connection to eurasia 65 the last common ancestor of living rhinoceroses which belong to the subgroup rhinocerotina is thought to have lived during the miocene at least 15 16 million years ago 66 rhinocerotids reached maximum diversity during the miocene epoch with often 4 5 species of rhinoceros coexisting with each other at any location in eurasia up to 9 in south asia which include members of the living group rhinocerotina as well as the extinct groups teleoceratini aceratheriinae and elasmotheriinae 67 rhinocertoids declined in diversity during the late miocene following unfavourable climatic change becoming entirely extinct in north america at the beginning of the pliocene around 5 million years ago 65 with teleoceratini and aceratheriinae having become extinct by or during the early pliocene 67 the earliest remains of the genus rhinoceros which includes the living indian one horned and javan rhinoceros are known from the late miocene represented by remains such as an indeterminate species found in deposits in myanmar dating to around 8 9 million years ago 68 with the two modern species appearing during the early middle pleistocene epoch 69 the earliest unambiguous relatives of white and black rhinoceros belonging to the genera ceratotherium and diceros first appear during the late miocene 70 71 with the first unambiguous appearance of modern white and black rhinoceros during the early pleistocene 71 72 the earliest unambiguous remains of dicerorhinus are known from the latest pliocene 73 with the appearance of the modern sumatran rhinoceros during the early pleistocene 74 skeleton of a woolly rhinoceros coelodonta antiquitatis mhnt the thick dermal armour of the rhinoceros evolved at the same time as shearing tusks 75 alongside the extant species four additional

have no real predators in the wild other than humans young rhinos sometimes fall prey to big cats crocodiles african wild dogs and hyenas although rhinos are large and aggressive and have a reputation for being resilient they are very easily poached they visit water holes daily and can be easily killed while they drink as of december 2009 poaching increased globally while efforts to protect the rhino are considered increasingly ineffective the most serious estimate that only 3 of poachers are successfully countered is reported of zimbabwe while nepal has largely avoided the crisis 92 poachers have become more sophisticated south african officials have called for urgent action against poaching after poachers killed the last female rhino in the krugersdorp game reserve near johannesburg 93 statistics from south african national parks show that 333 rhinoceroses were killed in south africa in 2010 94 increasing to 668 by 2012 95 over 1 004 in 2013 96 97 98 and over 1 338

esmond bradley martin has reported on the trade for dagger handles in yemen 105 which was historically a major source for the demand for rhino horn in the late 20th century 8 in europe it was historically believed that rhino horns could purify water and could detect poisoned liquids and likely believed to be an aphrodisiac and an antidote to poison 106 it is a common misconception that

compared to consuming fingernail clippings in water 113 in a 2021 survey of chinese users of rhinoceros horn tcm products the vast majority of respondents cited dispelling heat and detoxification as reasons for using rhino horn 114 in 1993 china signed the cites treaty and removed rhinoceros horn from the chinese medicine pharmacopeia administered by the ministry of health in 2011 the register of chinese herbal medicine in the united kingdom issued a formal statement condemning the use of rhinoceros horn 115 a growing number of tcm educators are also speaking out against the practice 116 although some tcm practitioners still believe that it is a life saving medicine citation needed vietnam reportedly has the biggest number of rhino horn consumers with their demand driving most of the poaching which has risen to record levels 117 118 119 the vietnam cites management authority has claimed that hanoi recently experienced a 77 drop in the usage of rhino horn but national geographic has challenged these claims noticing that there was no rise in the numbers of criminals who were apprehended or prosecuted 120 south african rhino poaching s main destination market is vietnam 121 an
