Rhinocerotidae

Description

My tribute to the Rhinoceros group.

(Elasmotherium Caucasicum  Elasmotherium Sibiricum, Sinotherium, Iranotherium, Aceratherium, Diceratherium, Stephanorhinus, Teleoceras, Chilotherium, Woolly Rhinoceros) - (extinct), White Rhinoceros, Indian Rhinoceros, Black Rhinoceros, Javan Rhinoceros and Sumatran Rhinoceros.

The rhinoceros belong to the few remaining megafauna surviving today. There is only 5 different species of extant rhinos. The biggest of the true rhinos (Rhinocerotidae) within the genus Elasmotherium was only close to the size of an African Elephant.

Sameer, I would like to use this image, or vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/d… , for a presentation at TEDX-Youth in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on 24 February. The presentation is linked to my NGO, www.borneorhinoalliance.org , which is trying to prevent the extinction of the one on the far right. Please advise me your response, perhaps at my email sabahpayne@gmail.com .... many thanks, John Payne
