THAT ONE ANIMAL THAT KINDA LOOKS LIKE A UNICORN
The species that interact with the Rhinos in places such as South Africa and in some parts of Asia are the following….
THE RHINO COMMUNITY
There are five total species of Rhinos and their populations are…..
Greater one-horned rhino : 3,333Black Rhino: 5,055White Rhino: 20,405Sumatran Rhino: More than 100Javan Rhino: 35-45
The African rhinos black and white seem to be more common.
THE RHINO POPULATION
The white rhinos mainly live in South African which looks like this…
HABITAT
The black Rhino lives in a majority of countries such as South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Kenya…their habitat in these places looks like this…..particularly Namibia
SAVANNAS to dense forests, in tropical and subtropical regions.
Rhinos compete with elephants because they eat the same food. The elephants are hogging the food sources such as grass areas, bushes, and water.
COMPETITION
VSWhen two individual species fight over food and shelter
The Rhino and Oxpecker are mutal friends because the oxpecker eats parasites off of the Rhino.
MUTALISM
Both species benefit
The Gyrostigma botfly is the parasite of Rhinos. It lays eggs inside of the Rhino and feeds off the Rhinos food source inside off its belly. Which can cause the Rhino to have weak conditions.
PARASITISM
The Rhino duty in life is to really just graze and eat grass, branches and fruit. But the Rhino when visitors visit them will become extremely territorial. The Rhino also supplies food for tickbirds or even Oxpeckers. The young Rhinos sometimes will supply food for hyenas
NICHE
The Rhinos are prey. Because they eat vegetables and fruit. The Rhinos don’t have any natural predators. But other species like lions will eat the Rhino if he sees it lying around dead.
But right now HUMANS are the Rhinos predators…
PREDATOR/PREY
The ox bird cleans and eats dirt and junk off of rhinos back. It does not affect the rhino but it does good for the ox bird.
COMMENSALISM
One individual species benefits without affecting the other
The Largest Black Rhino Sanctuary holds 88 Black Rhinos.
The carrying capacity of a biological species in an environment is the maximum population size of the species that the environment can be given the food, habitat, water and other sources available in the environment.
CARRYING CAPACITY
The oxpecker and the rhino have a symbiotic relationship because one individual species benefits or is obligated but the other species will not be harmed meaning the rhino can surive without the oxpecker.
SYMBIOSIS
Due to tsunamis the Javan Rhinos population has poor growth because resource cant be found. But the growth of Javan Rhinos are beginning to spark because of special sanctuaries to protect them. These sanctuaries hold on the resources the Javan Rhinos need.
SUCCESSION
Black rhinos commonly fight to the death. They seem to be the highest ranked animal to fight back. Approximately 50 percent of males and 30 percent of females die from fighting back. Extremely aggressive male Rhinos are known to be population-limiting factors in some areas. Selectively harvesting these animals can lead to population increases and greater survival.
LIMITING FACTORS
At the Cincinnati Zoo scientist are trying to mate a young female Sumatran Rhino with her little brother. The Sumatran species descended from Ice Age woolly rhinos is one of the most endangered species. The Cincinnati Zoo has been a pioneer in captive breeding of the rhino species, producing the first three born in captivity in modern times. There is a chance for the Sumatran Rhinos.
