     Rhinos are near the point of extinction. Since 1970 the rhinos population has decreased 90 percent. Rhinos have many different habitats They usually  live in places with vegetation. They also live in places with near by water holes,  mud pits, shade trees. Rhinos have a very bad temper so if anything or anyone b others them the will charge. When the Rhino lowers its head grunts and starts running in very high speeds it probably means that it will charge something.  Since Rhinos have very bad eyesight, sometimes it  will end up charging a bush! Rhinos have varies of calls. Their "vocabulary" is made up of growls, grunts, squeaks, snorts and bellows. The rhino's diet is made up of much vegetation, leaves, buds, shoots of plants and grass. The rhino's only predator is man kind. It is getting killed because of its horn on its nose. The rhinos population is dangerously decreasing.
