Title: Rhinoceros
Content: enormous horn, hypsodont teeth and long legs for running. Both the Coelodonta and "Elasmotherium" survived through the late Pleistocene when climate fluctuations, increased predation by newer predators such as hyenas and human hunting led to their extinction. There may have been a remnant population of "Elasmotherium", however, in the south of Western Siberia (the area that is today Kazakhstan) as recently as 29,000 years ago. Of the extant rhinoceros species, the Sumatran rhino is the most archaic, first emerging more than 15 million years ago. The Sumatran rhino was closely related to the woolly rhinoceros, but not to the other

Title: Saiga antelope
Content: million of them were found in the steppes of the USSR. Their population fell drastically following the collapse of the USSR due to uncontrolled hunting and demand for horns in Chinese medicine. At one point, some conservation groups, such as the World Wildlife Fund, encouraged the hunting of this species, as its horn was presented as an alternative to that of a rhinoceros. Today, the populations have again shrunk enormously — as much as 95% in 15 years. The saiga is classified as critically endangered by the IUCN. An estimated total number of 50,000 saigas survives today in Kalmykia, three

Title: White rhinoceros
Content: loss and poaching, most recently by Janjaweed. Although there are no measurable health benefits, the horn is sought after for traditional medicine and jewelry. Historically the major factor in the decline of white rhinos was uncontrolled hunting in the colonial era, but now poaching for their horn is the primary threat. The white rhino is particularly vulnerable to hunting, because it is a large and relatively unaggressive animal with very poor eye sight and generally occurs in herds. Despite the lack of scientific evidence, the rhino horn is highly prized in traditional Asian medicine, where it is ground into a

Title: Rhinoceros hornbill
Content: as well as hunting for its meat, and its skull and feathers. Habitat destruction has lead to the loss of the large trees the species requires for breeding, which in turn makes it easier for poachers to find the rhinoceros hornbill. It is frequently shot at by poachers due to confusion with the highly sought-after helmeted hornbill. Due to this, the species was uplisted to vulnerable from near threatened on the IUCN Red List in 2018. Rhinoceros hornbill The rhinoceros hornbill ("Buceros rhinoceros") is a large species of forest hornbill (Bucerotidae). In captivity it can live for up to 35

Title: Quaternary extinction event
Content: (elk), "Odocoileus sp.") (H), pronghorn (H), white-lipped peccary (H), muskox (H), bighorn sheep (H), and mountain goat (H); the list of survivors also include species which were extirpated during the Quaternary extinction event, but recolonised at least part of their ranges during the mid-holocene from South American relict populations, such as the cougar (C), jaguar (C), giant anteater (C), collared peccary (H), ocelot (C), margay (C), and jaguarundi (C). All save the pronghorns and giant anteaters were descended from Asian ancestors that had evolved with human predators. Pronghorns are the second fastest land mammal (after the cheetah), which may have

Question: Which animal has been hunted almost to extinction because of its horn?
Answer: Rhinoceros
