Rhinos are among the oldest groups of mammals on Earth, with ancestors that roamed the planet millions of years before humans. Today, however, these iconic animals are among the world's most endangered species.
In this fact file video from Chester Zoo, discover the remarkable adaptations of the eastern black rhinoceros, from its iconic double horns and swiveling ears to its unique prehensile lip that helps it feed on leaves and branches. Learn how these solitary giants communicate, care for their calves, and survive in the grasslands and savannas of eastern Africa, while exploring the conservation efforts working to protect this critically endangered species from extinction.
In Protecting Rhinos From Poachers, naturalist Steve Backshall flies across a wildlife reserve to locate Rodney, a male rhino. Rodney is tranquilized, then Steve attaches a collar to him so that he can be located and protected in the future. This video is excerpted from BBC's Deadly 60, an award-winning nature and adventure show for kids in which narrator Steve Backshall has one mission: to travel the globe in search of 60 of the world's deadliest animals.
