A rhino has very small eyes and does not see very well.Instead,it hearing and sense of smell are good,it has a short,hard horn above it’s nose which it use as a weapon.
The big animal eats leaves,twigs and certain kinds of grass,it searches for food in the afternoon,after the sun goes down,during the hot part the day,it plays in the mud turning and rubbing it’s body in the mud to feel cooler.
   The animals always live in very small group,and sometimes even live alone.This rhino is famous for it’s horn,many hunters kill this animals for the horn which they sell very high prices,other people make medicine from rhino’s horn,many rhinos die at hands of these hunters,if this continues to happen,in another few years we will not be able to find rhinos anymore.
