    Black rhinos are rapidly going extinct, as there are only approximately 740 remaining in the world. They are hunted and killed mainly for their horns, which some believe have medicinal properties. Poaching is a major threat, as rhino horns are cut off and used for traditional medicines. Conservation groups like WWF are working to protect remaining populations by expanding protected areas and anti-poaching efforts.
