	Rhinoceros - MSN Encarta
		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.

	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 fl rhinoceros (Rhinoceros (Diceros) bicornis) is the smaller of the two, and has a pointed prehensile upper lip.
		Their sight is very bad; but they are quick of hearing, and their scent is very keen; they are, too, often accompanied by rhinoceros birds, which, by running about their heads, flapping their wings, and screeching at the same time, frequently give them notice of the approach of danger.

	SOS Rhino
		Apart from the Javan rhinoceros of Ujung Kulon park and the its small population in Vietnam, no other populations of the animal are known to exist.
		Environmentalists say the stable number of Javan rhinoceros is due to factors such as apparent competition for food from wild cattle and lack of the right food, which impairs their breeding.
		Experts add that the stable population of the Javan rhinoceros may be due to the existence of the arenga palm (arenga obtusifolia) at the Ujung Kulon park, which damages the plant usually eaten by the Javan rhinoceros.

	Contributions to Zoology
		Philips Angel was born in 1616 in the town of Middelburg in the province of Zeeland (Bol, 1949).
		The rhinoceros depicted in Angel‘s water-colour is not mentioned in the zoological literature dealing with the rhinoceroses seen in Europe (Noll, 1873; Gowers, 1952; Sody, 1959; Reynolds, 1960; Kourist, 1970; Rookmaaker, 1973; and Clarke, 1986).
		As it is not known to which species of rhinoceros these mounted specimens belonged, it cannot be decided if the rhinoceros depicted in the water-colour by Angel, unknown from other sources, in fact died soon after the artist saw it, was mounted and later was exhibited in Delft and possibly in Amsterdam.
