The black rhinoceros is a mammal belonging to the family Rhinocerotidae in the order Rhinoceros, also known as the black rhinoceros or the pointed snouted rhinoceros. Black rhinoceros is mainly distributed in vast areas of eastern, central, western, and southern Africa. It mainly inhabits mountainous areas near water sources, usually in dense multi spine shrubs or Robinia pseudoacacia shrubs. Often feeds on the tender branches, leaves, and fruits of woody plants, especially fond of eating acacia, and occasionally eats green grass. Living alone or forming small groups. The black rhinoceros was once the most abundant species in the rhinoceros family, with an estimated 850000 individuals in history. Due to uncontrolled hunting, habitat loss, and recent poaching, the number has dropped to less than 2000.
