    Rhinoceroses are the second largest land mammals after elephants. There are 5 species of rhinos, all of which are endangered due to excessive hunting by poachers who kill them for their valuable horns. Rhinos have a huge body size but a small brain, and different species have one or two horns. They are herbivores that eat grass, leaves, and plants. Rhino populations are decreasing rapidly due to poaching and loss of habitat.
