The Indian rhinoceros, or one-horned rhinoceros, is a massive herbivore found in the grasslands and forests of India and Nepal. It is easily recognized by its thick, armor-like skin with deep folds and its single horn. These rhinos are grazers, feeding on grasses, fruits, and aquatic plants, and are often found near rivers and wetlands.

Once nearing extinction due to poaching and habitat loss, their population has rebounded thanks to strict conservation measures, including anti-poaching patrols and protected reserves such as Kaziranga National Park. Continued efforts are vital to protect this vulnerable species.
