		The Great One-Horned Rhinoceros has a single horn; this is present in both males and females, but not on newborn young.
		Indian rhinos are poached for their horn, which some cultures in East Asia believe has healing and potency powers.

	Rhinoceros - LoveToKnow 1911
		The Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis), the largest of the Asiatic forms, is the most widely known, from its being exhibited in zoological gardens.
		The first rhinoceros seen alive in Europe since the time when these animals, in common with nearly all the large remarkable beasts of both Africa and Asia, were exhibited in the Roman shows, was of this species.
		The fl rhinoceros (Rhinoceros (Diceros) bicornis) is the smaller of the two, and has a pointed prehensile upper lip.

		The two African species are the white rhinoceros, a relatively placid animal that is the largest of all rhino species, reaching a weight of over 3 metric tons, and the fl rhinoceros, which is about half as heavy as the white rhinoceros but much more aggressive.
		As a result of illegal trade in rhinoceros horn and habitat destruction, the populations of the fl, Sumatran, and Javan rhinos have suffered a sharp decline in recent years, and are now close to extinction in the wild.
		The fl rhinoceros feeds on leaves and twigs, while the white rhinoceros is the world’s biggest grazing animal, living almost entirely on low-growing grass.

	Indian rhinoceros - Rhinoceros unicornis: More Information - ARKive
		Indian rhinoceroses are often accompanied by ‘tick birds' (several species, including myna birds) and egrets that ride on their backs, and are thought to feed on parasites between the folds of skin.
		The Indian rhinoceros was already considered a ‘vanishing race' by the beginning of the 20th century, primarily due to the conversion of alluvial plain grassland to cultivated fields (5).
		The Indian rhinoceros has been brought back from the brink of extinction by a sustained conservation effort and numbers have increased from a few hundred individuals in the 1950s to over 2,000 today (5).

		The Indian rhino is found throughout its present range in alluvial plain habitats: riverine grasslands with grass up to 8 m (26') tall and marshy areas bordered by riverine woodlands, drier sal forest, or tropical almond forest.
		The main reason for the decline of the Indian rhino from its historical levels was the loss of alluvial plain grasslands to agricultural development, which destroyed the rhino's prime habitat, led to conflicts with human interests, and made the rhino more accessible to hunters.
		In the past, the Indian rhino was recorded from a number of habitats, including marshy lowland and reed beds; tall grass or bush with patches of savanna and occasional streams and swamps; thick tree and scrub riverine forest; and dry, mixed forest.

		The word rhinoceros means "horn-nosed," and rhinos use their horns for several purposes.
		They use them to shovel the ground for mineral salt; to fight over territory or a female, or during courtship; and to defend themselves and their young against lions, tigers and hyenas.
		In addition, all five rhinoceros species are listed as endangered species under the Endangered Species Act, prohibiting rhino parts and products from being imported into the U.S. except under certain conditions.
