Publisher's Synopsis

A new addition to the 5 Animals series!

5 Rhinos is an engaging and educational look at the world of the rhinoceros through verbal portraits of five actual animals. Rhinos are greatly endangered in today's world as a result of poachers seeking rhino horns for illegal black markets in Asia, and the true stories of these incredible creatures should help increase public consciousness about them worldwide.

Naturalist and award-winning author Anne Innis Dagg presents portraits of 5 rhinos:

  • Torgamba, a Sumatran rhino
  • Jao, the Javan rhino
  • Clara, the Indian rhino who toured Europe for 17 years during the 18th century in the company of a Dutch sea captain
  • Rajah, an Indian rhino
  • Baby Nandu, born at Toronto Zoo in 2016.
  • These stories are interspersed with fun facts and sidebars about rhino reserves:

  • the many attempts to relocate these large animals
  • what they eat
  • the impact of rhino horns and money on the existence of the various species
  • a description of the tragic death of the last black rhino in 2016
  • what wildlife rangers do
  • where to see rhinos in the wild
  • what people today can do to save these remarkable creatures.
  • Fully illustrated in full color and including maps, the book also has a comprehensive list of sources, and an index.
