Rhinoceros

Title: The genetic diversity of black rhinoceros (Diceros bircornis) populations in Africa. Introduction. Despite its reputation as a powerful and invincible beast, the rhinoceros has suffered precipitous Black rhinoceros is powerful land mammal but despite its strength and take no nonsenses attitude has declined in number and is threatened with extinction. There are approximately 11,0000 individuals of all five species surviving in small scattered populations throughout Africa and other Asians

Black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) Eric Chiaramonte SNHU   Literature Review In the 1970’s the Black rhinoceros’ (Diceros bicornis) population could be numbered at around 70,000 ("Black rhinoceros", 2016). Today there are fewer than 5,000 of these animals left due to overhunting and poaching ("Black rhinoceros", 2016). This literature review to highlights information relevant to conservation efforts with regards to the black rhino. It looks at relevant articles from four reputable journals and

The rhinoceros or known as a rhino is a prehistoric looking mammal. There are 5 species of rhinos. The black rhinoceros and the white rhinoceros both live in Africa. The Indian, the Javan and the Sumatran rhinoceros live in Asia. Both African rhinoceros look very similar, they are both a blueish-grey color with two horns. They are often called a different name to easily differentiate them. The black rhino is called the hook-lipped rhinoceros and the white rhino is called the square-lipped rhinoceros

the black rhinoceros or the hook-lipped rhinoceros. The origin of the black rhinoceros’ scientific name, diceros bicornis, is quite interesting. Dicero from the Greek word “di” translates to “two” and “ceros” translates to “horn.” Bicornis from the Latin word “bi” translates to “two” and “cornis” translates to “horn.” The black rhinoceros’ scientific name describes their most prominent physical features, their double horns. There are four different subspecies within the black rhinoceros family whose

species that becomes extinct. For years the amount African Black Rhinoceros has been dropping significantly; the problem may be unfixable at this point. Unfortunately, many animals on earth are facing the same tragedy. These animals are primarily from a time that no human kept records. They are living, breathing history that will die off because the superior species could not protect them.

(“African Rhinos” (n.d) & Goodall , J. 2017) Animal Poaching- the illegal act of killing animals for profitable body parts- has been the reason for the near extinction of many species, including elephants, tigers, rhinoceros, and lions. Scientists and concerned citizens of society need to come together to obliterate this illicit cartel. Specific animals like elephants, tigers, lions, and rhinoceroses should be preserved because of their roles within their respective

If everyone around you, including your family, wore pink clothes to fit in, would you wear them too? What if I switched the option of pink clothes to turning into a rhinoceros? In the play Rhinoceros by Eugene Ionesco, the main character, Berenger, is introduced as a man who lacks interest in his image and responsibilities. You could say that he battles with the expectations of being an adult. We usually describe an adult to be seen as a person that is more responsible, has a job and knows their

The white rhinoceros and the Asian elephant possess many similar characteristics, including the way they look, yet also possess many differences such as the two continents they live on. There are five living species of rhino (black, white, Indian, Javan and Sumatran) and only two of the elephant (African and the Asian). All are in jeopardy of extinction with their slow rate of breeding, poaching and in the rhinoceroses, their territorial behavior. Both of these beasts belong to the same kingdom

mostly located around South Africa, North Africa and there are a few around East Africa as well (White Rhino; White Rhinoceros). The white rhino is very muscular, “white rhinos have a square upper lip with almost no hair” and has its two front ivory horns (White Rhino). These creatures travel in herds and mark their territory usually with “vigorously scraped dung piles” (White Rhinoceros). Males have a small land range of 1-3km although the females land range is about 6-20km or even lager depending

Imagine yourself in Africa roaming the land along the country's most beloved inhabitant the African Elephant one of the most significant creatures which symbolizes strength and power. Now imagine yourself as an elephant running for your life because a couple poacher are trying to shoot you in the head just. So they can get a hold of your beautiful ivory or tusk. Many humans believe animals were sent on earth to serve for our own personal purpose which is a false belief invented by people who do not
