One-horned

One of the 5 rhino species still around. Population is divided into India and Nepal. Conservation efforts helped the growth of the population but still no more than a couple of thousand rhinos in the wild.

I do believe this is the first photo of an Indian rhino in the wild posted here. How absolutely fantastic! I am aware that they are extremely rare, lets hope with the conservation projects, they can survive. Posted 10 years ago
