The rhinoceros is a family of large mammals that nowadays counts five species that occur in Africa and Asia. The rhinoceros has a horn that grows crookedly backwards just behind the movable part of the nose; three species have a smaller stump behind it; the Javanese and Indian rhinoceros do not have one.
There are five species of rhino left, most of which are threatened in their existence to a greater or lesser degree by trade in products from the horn.
Each species can drink up to 100 litres a day and eat dozens of kilos. The food differs per species. Rhinos living in Africa are mainly grazers; they mainly eat firm grass or twigs, while Asian species eat firm, large branches.
