Rhinos

Don't be fooled by the bulk of rhinoceroses. Even though these animals look ungainly, they can climb steep hills, turn gracefully, and run fast. They spend half their life eating, and they sleep a lot too. But they are far from docile. When threatened, they point their big horns at the predator as a show of force. Because of their size, rhinoceroses don't have many enemies - except human beings. Today ony five out of 100 rhino species remain. But groups around the world are fighting to stop their extinction.
