This Rhino does not have great pictures that go along with it. Why? There are an estimated 50 left in the wild. Making it easily one of the rarest known animals. The related species is the Indian Rhino which is doing slightly better. There is known population in Mongolia and their threat, of course, is people. It's horn is often used for chinese medicine and its habitat, is of course, in decline.
Most of their behaviors are similar to their African counter-parts. The main difference is having 1 horn instead of two. It's less aggressive, and I guess lost the horn since it is costly to produce if it doesn't use it much.
