"Cladistic Analysis of the Family Rhinocerotidae (Perissodactyla)" (PDF). Novitates. American Museum of Natural History (3143): 1–25. ISSN 0003-0082. The late Colin Groves (one of the world’s leading anthropologists and taxonomists) thought so, and in 2010 he and his co-workers published a paper putting forward the case for two species. The Groves paper, however, has been criticized by some and its proposal has not been universally accepted. A more detailed outline of this debate can be found in the IUCN Red Data List. The Northern Sumatran Rhino (D. s. lasiotis)— The name lasiotis is derived from the Greek for “hairy ears.” Later studies showed that their ear-hair was no longer than other Sumatran Rhinos, but s. lasiotis persisted because it was significantly larger than the other subspecies.

Sport hunting became common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was the main cause for the decline of Indian rhinoceros populations. Indian rhinos were hunted relentlessly and persistently. Reports from the mid-19th century claim that some British military officers shot more than 200 rhinos in Assam alone. By 1908, the population in Kaziranga National Park had decreased to around 12 individuals. [14] In the early 1900s, the Indian rhinoceros was almost extinct. At present, poaching for the use of horn in traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the main threats that has led to decreases in several important populations. [1] Poaching for the Indian rhino's horn became the single most important reason for the decline of the Indian rhinoceros after conservation measures were put in place from the beginning of the 20th century, when legal hunting ended. From 1980 to 1993, 692 rhinos were poached in India, including 41 rhinos in India's Laokhowa Wildlife Sanctuary in 1983, almost the entire population of the sanctuary. [34] By the mid-1990s, the Indian rhinoceros had been extirpated in this sanctuary. [4] Between 2000 and 2006, more than 150 rhinos were poached in Assam. [5] Almost 100 rhinos were poached in India between 2013 and 2018.

The first recorded captive birth of an Indian rhinoceros was in Kathmandu in 1826, but another successful birth did not occur for nearly 100 years. In 1925, a rhino was born in Kolkata. No rhinoceros was successfully bred in Europe until 1956 when first European breeding took place when baby rhino Rudra was born in Zoo Basel on 14 September 1956.

ISBN 0198508239.The family of all modern rhinoceroses, the Rhinocerotidae, first appeared in the Late Eocene in Eurasia. The earliest members of Rhinocerotidae were small and numerous; at least 26 genera lived in Eurasia and North America until a wave of extinctions in the middle Oligocene wiped out most of the smaller species. Several independent lineages survived. Menoceras, a pig-sized rhinoceros, had two horns side by side. The North American Teleoceras had short legs, a barrel chest and lived until about five million years ago. The last rhinos in the Americas became extinct during the Pliocene. Why is it so important to scientifically name as many species as possible? Well, global biodiversity is being lost at an unprecedented rate, and scientists warn that we are in the middle of a period of mass extinction. There have been other periods of significant loss—five episodes are thought to have happened since the planet was born—but this is the first where a single species, Homo sapiens, has played such a destructive role.
