Animals Under Threat
Description
Black Rhino by Richard Spilsbury explores the characteristics, habitat, and conservation challenges facing the black rhinoceros. The book answers questions about where these animals live, why they create middens, and how many horns they have. It also examines the efforts conservationists take to protect these endangered animals, including using 24-hour guards and relocating the one-ton animals to safer habitats.
