India Rhinoceros

12
 The rhinoceros lives in northern India and Asian nation.They have some12 noticeable physical variations from their African relatives. Their segmental hide looks like a formidable coat of natural suit of armor. Like other rhinos, these animals have sharp hearing and a keen sense of smell. They will noticed each other by following the path of scent every enormous animal leaves behind it on the landscape. An Indian rhino can move very quickly once 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.They have flexible skin between the thicker hide "plates" allows them to shift as the rhinoceros moves.As their Latin name Rhinoceros suggests, Indian rhinos have just one horn.The Indian rhinoceros may be a grazer that travels established, tunnel-like methods through its tall-grass surround. It grasps tall grasses with its prehensile (gripping) lip. In addition to grass, rhinos eat fruit, leaves, and typically farm crops. They ‘re typically around water and sometimes consume aquatic plants. These animals forage within the cooler temps of morning and afternoon to avoid exerting themselves in the debilitating midday heat. When the sun is high, they often wallow or submerge themselves in water.
The distinguished horn that these rhinos are so well known has also been their downfall. Many animals have been killed for this hard, hair-like growth, that is revered for medicinal use in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The horn is also valued in North Africa and the Middle East as a decorative dagger handle. Only 2,000 Indian rhinos are left in the wild.
