ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION AT NGORONGORO CRATER

Rhinos are heavy browsers that hinder woody plants from dominating their habitat. This is important because it allows grasses to grow which provide food for many other animals on the grassy plains. Young Rhinos are occasionally prey items for large Carnivores such as Lions and Hyenas. People of some cultures believe that Rhino Horn contains Medicinal properties. This is most likely not true but is one of the primary reasons Rhinos are poached.
