These almost pre-historic animals
are certainly not in the
emergent category.
In fact they are in just the opposite category
in that numbers are declining significantly
each with close to 1,000 being
poached each year.
Between 2013 and 2018 (inclusive) Africa lost
(according to Google) 6,979
of these magnificent animals
to poachers (click link for details),
which is why there are now sanctuaries
guarded 24/7 by military sharpshooters.
