The world’s attention is on the African rhino as their numbers thin out fast due to poaching. All five of the world’s rhino species are endangered and some are even on the brink of extinction. Seeing one of these majestic creatures in the wild is high up on the list of any wildlife lover.
White rhino (northern and southern) and black rhino are the best known sub species in Africa, but there are also Indian rhino, Javan rhino and Sumatran rhino. The northern white rhino is critically endangered, with only a handful left in captivity and a slim chance of them reproducing. The four subspecies of black rhino are either critically endangered or almost extinct. While the southern black rhino and south western black rhino are out of immediate danger for the moment, the East Africa black rhino in Tanzania’s numbers are declining. The north western black rhino has been declared extinct in 2011.
As the rhino populations sadly decline, you should move heaven and earth to see this amazing animal in the wild before its too late
