Info
The Indian rhinoceros, also called the greater one-horned rhinoceros, is native to the Indian subcontinent. Listed as a vulnerable species, the large mammal is primarily found in parts of north-east India and in protected areas in the Terai of Nepal, where populations are confined to the riverine grasslands in the foothills of the Himalayas. Weighing between 1,800-3,000 kilograms, it is the fourth largest land animal and has a single horn.
