Western Black Rhino

In 2011, the western black rhino (a subspecies of the black rhino) was declared extinct, after being on the list of Critically Endangered species for over a decade. As recently as the 1900s, however, it was the most abundant of the rhinos, its population close to a million, but by 1995, only 2500 western black rhinos remained, and that number was decreasing.

The extinction of the western black rhino is blamed on hunting, mostly for their horns, which are used in making ceremonial daggers as well as in traditional Chinese medicine.

The western black rhino was about 12 feet (3.7 meters) long and, like other brown rhinos, ate the leaves of plants. When it was too hot to eat, it slept or wallowed in the mud. Watch more  related

Amazon Animals

The Amazon Basin is the world's largest rainforest, drainage area for its second largest river and one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth. Tropical forests have been present in South America for millions of years and were at one point spread over most of the continent.

As the Earth cooled and grasslands spread, the rainforests retreated to strongholds like the Amazon Basin, shrinking and growing as ice ages came and went. Today's Amazon rainforest covers around 5.5 million square kilometres and sprawls across nine countries. It is hugely biodiverse, with some 10% of the species known to science calculated to be found there.
