Rhinos have existed for millions of years, but today all five species are under threat from poachers and habitat loss. WWF plays a vital role in conserving rhinos, and you can too. How much do you know about rhinos? Start Back Question 1 of 8: naturepl.com/Tui De Roy/WWF HOW LONG HAVE RHINOS WALKED THE EARTH? Answer Options 90 million years 55 million years 35 million years 10 million years Rhinos are one of the oldest groups of mammals on Earth. Today, there are five species of rhinos. Two of these species (black and white rhinos) are native to Africa. The other three (Javan, Sumatran, and greater one-horned rhinos) are native to Asia. All five rhino species have horns. The word rhinoceros comes from ancient Greek: rhino (nose) and ceros (horn). Next Question Back Question 2 of 8: WHICH OF THESE IS A BLACK RHINO? Answer Options Ola Jennersten/WWF-Sweden Gordon Congdon/WWF Kinjal Vasavada Robin Moore The black rhino is the smaller of the two African rhino species, weighing up to around 3,000 pounds. Both black and white rhinos have two horns. While they differ in several ways, the easiest way to tell who’s who is by looking at the shape of the mouth. White rhinos have a wide, square upper lip that’s ideal for grazing on grasses. Black rhinos are browsers and have a prehensile pointed upper lip—perfect for bringing shrubs and tree branches to their mouth. Next Question Back Question 3 of 8: Martin Harvey/WWF WHAT IS A GROUP OF RHINOS CALLED? Answer Options Crash Swarm Camp Wisdom Female rhinos tend to be more sociable than the more solitary, territorial males. Together, a group of rhinos is called a crash. Female rhinos are called cows, and males are bulls. Their young are calves. Next Question Back Question 4 of 8: RHINOS AND ONE OF THESE SPECIES HAVE A SYMBIOTIC (MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL) RELATIONSHIP. WHICH SPECIES? Answer Options Jorge Sierra/WWF-Spain Greater flamingo Peter Chadwick/WWF Red-billed oxpecker Adriano Gambarini/WWF-US Green-headed tanager Sarah Pietrkiewicz Short-eared owl Black rhinos have developed a special, mutualistic relationship with different bird species, including red-billed oxpeckers and cattle egrets. The so-called cleaner birds often hitch a ride and feed on ticks and other parasites on rhinos' skin. Next Question Back Question 5 of 8: Shutterstock/Volodymyr Burdiak/WWF-Sweden APPROXIMATELY HOW MANY RHINOS LIVE IN THE WILD? Answer Options 500,000 220,000 95,000 27,000 At the beginning of the 20th century, there were about half a million rhinos in the wild. By 1970, rhino numbers dropped to 70,000, and today, around 27,000 rhinos remain in the wild. Very few rhinos survive outside national parks and reserves due to poaching and habitat loss over many decades. WWF plays a vital role in conserving rhinos and helping populations grow. After a dramatic decline last century, black rhino numbers have more than doubled—today, there are more than 6,000 in the wild. Next Question Back Question 6 of 8: Michel Gunther/WWF WHAT ARE RHINO HORNS MADE OF? Answer Options Bone Keratin Cartilage Skin Rhino horns are made of keratin—just like human hair and fingernails. As part of international wildlife crime networks, poachers kill rhinos to meet consumer demand for their horns. The horns are often ground up and used in traditional medicine as alleged cures for a range of ailments from fevers to cancer to hangovers. They're also used as status symbols. It has been illegal to trade rhino horn internationally since 1977. Next Question Back Question 7 of 8: CreativeLAB/WWF-US HOW DOES WWF HELP PROTECT RHINOS FROM EXTINCTION?
