The rhinoceros (Rhinocerotidae) is considered the world's most endangered mammal. Due to habitat loss and poaching, the wild rhino population plummeted from 65,000 in 1970 to fewer than 5,000 by 1998. Poaching remains the rhino's greatest threat as cultures in India, China, and the Far East use the valuable horns for folk medicines and aphrodisiacs. Five species exist worldwide: In Africa, the Black and White rhinos and in Asia, the Sumatran, Indian, and Javan. Even though rhinos must still be rigorously protected, this species is actually a conservation success story. Protection by authorities and conservation organizations worldwide have allowed the numbers to increase to today's levels of just under 18,000. You can learn more about rhinoceros conservation efforts on the excellent International Rhino Foundation web site. (Rhino research by Joslyn Biggins.)

This nicely-detailed rhino toy animal is made of solid white plastic with the colors painted on. It measures 2 1/2 inches from nose to tail. This plastic animal toy is great for school projects, toys, novelties, animal collections, party favors and more. Our plastic rhinoceros is for decoration or play only. You can make an outstanding African animals shoebox diorama using this and other plastic creatures from our gift shop. Best of all, there is no mess, no feeding, and no tank or cage cleaning :) Come look through our entire collection of rhino toys and gifts.
