More Animals & Plants from San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park All antelope have horns; in some species they are only found on the males, whereas in others, such as gazelles, both males and females have them. The horns are made of a bony core encased in a hard material made largely of keratin (the same substance our fingernails are made of!).

Addax The Addax, sometimes called the ‘screw horn antelope’, because of its twisted horns, is a large, desert dwelling member of the antelope family, closely related to the Oryx. The Addax is a critically endangered mammal which is found in several isolated areas in the sahara desert in Northern Africa. The Sahara is the worlds largest hot desert. The addax is extremely rare within its native habitat and with only 500 Addax left in the wild, this antelope could unfortunately, face extinction. Addax Description. The head and body length of the addax measures 150 – 170 centimetres (59.1 – 66.9 inches).

- There are two species of African rhino – the white and the black. Despite their names, both are the same dark grey-brown colour. It’s thought that the name ‘white rhino’ is a misinterpretation of the Afrikaans word ‘wyd’, referring to its square upper lip. Black rhinos have hooked lips.Most African rhinos are found in just four countries – South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Kenya – where they mainly roam grassland and open savannah.bout 96% of black rhinos were lost to large-scale poaching between 1970 and 1992, and there are now just 4,800 individuals in the wild today. Poaching for their horns is still the greatest threat to African rhinos today.

- There is no other antelope like the wildebeest. It looks like it was assembled from spare parts the forequarters could have come from and ox, the hindquarters from an antelope and the mane and tail from a horse. The antics of the territorial bulls during breeding season have earned them the name clowns of the savanna. The wildebeest is one of the few African antelopes to have extended its range in the last 50 years. 2  They numbered about 250,000 in 1960 and are thought to number 1.5 million today.

Found throughout Africa and southern Asia, these massive animals are intimidating fauna of their local environments. Of the five species of rhinoceros, two inhabit Africa, the black rhino, and the white rhino. The other three species, the Javan rhino, Sumatran Rhino, and Indian rhino are found throughout southern Asia, with each species' range encompassing the geographic location of its name. The word rhinoceros literally means ""nose horn"", derived from the Greek rhis, meaning nose, and keros, meaning horn. All rhinos have horns, but two species, the Indian rhino and Javan rhino, have but one horn, while the black rhino, white rhino, and Sumatran rhino have two horns. Rhino ""horns"" are not true horns. True horns consist of a bony core, covered by a keratin sheath. Rhinoceros horns are composed of keratin, but lack a bony core. They are simply a group of highly compacted keratin fibers on a roughened area of the skull. Despite their horns and armored appearance, one may expect rhinos to share close ancestry with elephants. But rhinoceroses are actually related to horses and tapirs, in the Mammalian Order for odd-toed ungulates, Perissodactyla. Like the other perissodactyls, rhinos have mesaxonic feet, which means the center toe bears much of the weight. Rhinos have three toes, which are large and splayed out to support their bulky body. Also like horses, rhinos are hindgut fermenters, bearing the ability to eat less nutritious vegetation than ruminants because digestion is faster. All species of rhino are herbivorous, either grazing on grasses or browsing on shrubbery. Rhinos are primarily solitary, found together only to breed, with calf, or at a shared resource. Males are territorial, defending their territory aggressively. The two African rhino species joust with their horns, while the Asian rhino species battle with their lower inscisors, and in the case of the Sumatran rhino - its lower canines. Females travel throughout different territories, using resources as needed. Rhinoceros eyesight is very poor. A motionless person at 100ft (30m) is undetectable to a rhino. However, what rhinos lack in sight is accounted for in audition and olfaction. A rhino's hearing is extremely sensitive, capable of noticing the slightest of sounds. But a rhino's cardinal sense is smell. The volume of olfactory passages in the snout exceeds that of the brain! Unfortunately, not even the keenest sense of smell can save the rhino from human hunters. Poached for its magnificent horn, all species of rhino are in danger of extinction. Rhino populations are now increasing due to protection from national park systems and captive breeding programs in zoos throughout the world.Content provided by Canisius College students under the direction of Michael Noonan, PhD." Of the five species of rhinoceros, two inhabit Africa, the black rhino, and the white rhino. The other three species, the Javan rhino, Sumatran Rhino, and Indian rhino are found throughout southern Asia, with each species' range encompassing the geographic location of its name.
