Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros
The Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros, also known as the Indian Rhinoceros, is a large herbivorous mammal native to the Indian subcontinent. It is characterized by its single horn, which can grow up to 25 inches long. This species primarily inhabits grasslands and riverine forests, relying on dense vegetation for food and cover.
These rhinos are known for their thick, wrinkled skin, which resembles armor. They are social animals, often found in small groups, and are primarily active during the day. Conservation efforts are crucial for their survival, as they face threats from habitat loss and poaching for their horns.
