There used to be more then 100 species of rhinos, now there are only 7 species left.
The Indian Rhino lives mainly in northern India and Nepal. These enormous beasts have some visible real differences from their African relatives. Their segmented hide looks like an alarming coat of natural body armour. It functions a bit like one also: Flexible skin between the thicker hide ‘’plates’’ allows them to shift as the rhino moves.
As the Latin name Rhinoceros unicorns suggests, Indian rhinos have only 1 horn.
Like other rhinos, these animals have a sharp sense of smell.
They may find one another by following the trail of scent each enormous animal leaves behind it on the landscape. An Indian rhino can move very quickly when aroused. Their charges have been clocked at 30 miles (48 kilometers) an hour. Despite their bulk, they are nimble and can jump or change direction quickly.
