The White Rhinoceros - LISRONAGH NATIONAL SCHOOL
The White Rhinoceros The white rhinoceros is the largest living species of rhino in the world. There are two types of white rhinoceros; the northern white rhinoceros and the southern white rhinoceros. It is one of the largest and heaviest land animals. While it is estimated that there are over 17,000 southern white rhinoceroses alive in the world today, the northern white rhinoceros is an endangered species. This means it is in danger of extinction. There are only three northern white rhinoceroses left in the world today; Fatu, Naijin and Sudan. They now live in a special wildlife park in Kenya. Armed guards protect them 24 hours a day. Why Are Northern White Rhinos Endangered? Poaching is the illegal hunting of wild animals. Rhinos are hunted by poachers for their horns. The poachers will usually shoot the rhino with a special gun to put them to sleep and saw off their horn. The rhino will wake up in great pain and usually die. Rhino horns can be sold for a high price. What Is Being Done to Stop Poaching? Game reserves in African countries are trying many different things to stop poaching. Some rhinos have had their horns cut off by park rangers to protect them. Park rangers patrol the perimeters of parks looking for poachers. New technologies like drones are being used to help the rangers spot poachers as they enter the parks. What Does the Future Hold for the White Rhinoceros? There is little hope for the future of the northern white rhinoceros, as there are only three left in the world. With special protection against poaching, it is hoped that the southern white rhinoceros will survive. Sudan on the rhino conservancy
