Rhino

Rhinos, known for their immense size and iconic horns, may not be the first animals that come to mind when discussing migrations. However, certain species, like the black rhino (Diceros bicornis) and the white rhino (Ceratotherium simum), exhibit seasonal movements, especially in regions with distinct wet and dry seasons. These movements are primarily driven by the availability of water and food resources.

During dry seasons, rhinos often travel to areas with permanent water sources and abundant vegetation, such as riverbanks and wetlands. When rains return, they expand their range to graze on the rejuvenated grasslands. Habitat fragmentation caused by human activities, such as agriculture and poaching, poses a significant threat to their migratory routes. Conservation efforts, including protected reserves and wildlife corridors, are essential to preserving these movements and ensuring rhinos continue to thrive.
