Endangered Animal: The White Rhino
The White
Rhino (Ceratotherium simum) is the largest existent species of
rhinoceros. It lives in Kenya.
The white
rhinoceros population consists of the southern white rhinoceros, with an
estimated 19,682–21,077 wild-living animals in the year 2015, and the northern
white rhioceros.
The northern
subspecies had very few remaining, with only three confirmed individuals left
in 2015 (two females; Fatu, 15 and Najin, 25: and one male; Sudan, 42), all in
captivity. Now there are around 4 wild white Rhinos (northern rhinos).
They are
endangered because of over-hunting. We can help them by arresting poachers and
defend them day and night.
Our special
connection is that we live in the same world so we need to help them. The
poachers hunt them for their horns because some Chinese buyers say that it
heals you. Also horns are expensive and generate a lot of money.
We like this
animal and it is sad that it is disappearing.
