Where do the living rhinoceros species live?

Living rhinoceros species are found in parts of Africa and Asia, though their ranges have been significantly reduced due to human activity and poaching.1

African Rhinoceroses

There are two species of rhinoceroses in Africa:
* Black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis): Found in scattered pockets across Namibia, Angola, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, Botswana, and Eswatini (Swaziland).1
* White rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum): Primarily confined to game reserves in South Africa, with some populations redistributed to other parks in Southern Africa.1

Asian Rhinoceroses

Three species inhabit Asia, all of which are restricted to protected reserves:
* Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis): Found in approximately 11 reserves across northern India and Nepal, most notably in the Kaziranga National Park and the Rapti valley.12
* Javan rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus): The final remaining population is restricted to Ujung Kulon National Park on the island of Java, Indonesia.13
* Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis): Scattered among a few protected areas in Sumatra and the wilderness of Indonesian Borneo.4
