■ About Indian rhinoceros
The Indian rhino is the second largest rhino after the white rhinoceros.
It is found in India and Nepal, especially in the foothills of the Himalayas, but once roamed freely in the floodplains and forests along the valleys of the Brahmaputra, Ganges and Indus rivers.
They are semi-aquatic and live in swamps and forests, riversides, as well as near nutritious minerallicks (places where animals lick and take the necessary nutrients from salt and other mineral deposits).
Indian rhinos have gray, hairless armor-like skin formed by the development of thick wrinkles. It has one horn, usually its length varies from 20 to 61 cm, and the weight is up to 3 kg. Horns are not used for fighting, but for searching for food or digging up the roots of plants.
