Black+Rhino

 Black Rhino The black rhino (//Diceros bicornis),// is an extremely critically endangered animal that resides in the Serengeti National Park. Currently the population of the rhino inside the park stands at only eight. This incredible decrease in population has been attributed to over-poaching and habitat loss. Their horns are greatly prized for ivory. Currently, the remaining animals are protected in a fenced off area with round-the-clock guards to protect against predators. Another, slightly larger population exists in the Ngorongoro Crater.
