THAT ONE ANIMAL THAT
KINDA LOOKS LIKE A
UNICORN

The species that i nteract wi th the Rhi nos i n pl aces such as
South Afri ca and i n some parts of Asi a are the fol l owing.
THE RHINO COMMUNITY
There are five total species of Rhinos and their
populations are..
Greater one-horned rhino : 3,333
Black Rhino: 5,055
White Rhino: 20,405
Sumatran Rhino: More than 100
Javan Rhino: 35-45

The African rhinos black and white seem to be more common.
THE RHINO POPULATION

HABITAT
The black Rhino lives in a majority of
countries such as South Africa, Namibia,
Zimbabwe and Kenyatheir habitat in these
places looks like this..particularly Namibia
SAVANNAS to dense
forests, in tropical
and subtropical
regions.
Rhi nos compete wi th el ephants because they eat the same
food. The el ephants are hoggi ng the food sources such as grass
areas, bushes, and water.

COMPETITION
When two individual species fight over
food and shelter
The Rhi no and Oxpecker are mutal fri ends because the
oxpecker eats parasites of f of the Rhi no.

MUTALISM
Both species
benefit
The Gyrosti gma botfl y i s the parasite of Rhi nos. It l ays eggs
i nsi de of the Rhi no and feeds of f the Rhi nos food source i nsi de
of f i ts bel ly. Which can cause the Rhi no to have weak
condi ti ons.
PARASITISM

The Rhi no duty i n l i fe i s to reall y j ust graze and eat grass,
branches and frui t. But the Rhi no when vi si tors vi si t them wi l l
become extremely terri torial.
The Rhi no al so supplies food for ti ckbirds or even Oxpeckers.
The young Rhi nos someti mes wi l l supply food for hyenas


NICHE
The Rhi nos are prey. Because they eat vegetables and frui t.
The Rhi nos don t have any natural predators. But other species
l i ke l i ons wi l l eat the Rhi no i f he sees i t l yi ng around dead.


But ri ght now HUMANS are the Rhi nos predators


PREDATOR/PREY
The ox bi rd cl eans and eats di rt and j unk of f of rhi nos back. It
does not af fect the rhi no but i t does good for the ox bi rd.
COMMENSALISM

CARRYING CAPACITY
The oxpecker and the rhi no have a symbi oti c rel ationship
because one i ndi vidual species benefi ts or i s obl i gated but the
other species wi l l not be harmed meaning the rhi no can suri ve
wi thout the oxpecker.
SYMBIOSIS
Due to tsunamis the Javan Rhi nos popul ati on has poor growth
because resource cant be found. But the growth of Javan Rhi nos
are beginning to spark because of special sanctuaries to protect
them. These sanctuaries hol d on the resources the Javan Rhi nos
need.
SUCCESSION
Bl ack rhi nos commonl y fi ght to the death. They seem to be
the hi ghest ranked ani mal to fi ght back. Approximately 50
percent of mal es and 30 percent of females di e from fi ghting
back. Extremely aggressive mal e Rhi nos are known to be
population- l imiting factors i n some areas. Sel ectively
harvesting these ani mals can l ead to population i ncreases
and greater survi val.



LIMITING FACTORS
At the Ci nci nnati Zoo sci entist are tryi ng to mate a young
female Sumatran Rhi no wi th her l i ttl e brother. The Sumatran
species descended from Ice Age wool l y rhi nos i s one of the
most endangered species. The Ci nci nnati Zoo has been a
pi oneer i n captive breeding of the rhi no species, producing the
fi rst three born i n capti vity i n modern ti mes. There i s a chance
for the Sumatran Rhi nos.
