Repost from @jasonsavagephoto - Some of the most incredible animals you’ll ever meet! Rhinos have been on this planet for for some 50 million years. Roaming across continents and becoming the most abundant and successful mammals of its time. They prehistoric rhinos look very different to today’s modern day rhinos, and actually they were the largest land mammal to ever live. The Paraceratherium stood 5 metres tall and weighed 20 tonneas. It had a longer neck to browse on the leaves. They evolved perfectly to their surroundings. Only changing once early elephants started to evolve and out competed the rhinos with its trunk. Now out of the 5 rhino species still alive today they are all facing the same fate as the wooly rhino from the ice age. Extinction is for ever and the Sumatran rhino is the oldest and most closely related to the ancient wooly rhinos and it is also the closest to extinction with the possibility of only having 30 animals alive today! The Javan rhino in the Ujung Kulon National Park in the western tip of java holds the only known population of the species and there is only 67 left. The Indian rhino is continuing to be poached but the population is increaseing due to strict conservation efforts by the Indian government. There is around 3500. The black rhino numbers went as low as 2000 but numbers are slowly growing with strict conservation initiatives and the numbers are around 5000. The white rhinos, like the ones in the photo, are the most numerous and most heavily poached. There numbers have dropped from 20,000 to as low as 15,000 but who can really trust the stats. ---------------------------------------------------- On average 3 rhinos lose their lives everyday in Africa, at the hand of poachers.
