One difference is they do not have a horn. When they are born they weigh about 60 to 120 pounds. Their skin is usually gray, but may vary depending on the soil conditions where they graze. The skin is wrinkled and devoid of hair. In some parts of their body, the skin can be one and a half inches thick. Under the skin, they have one or two inches body fat that helps them to regulate their body temperature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eDepending of the specific species, the babies have lips and teeth that are adapted to break down vegetation. When the baby rhino is of the white species, it has wide, square lips. Some other kinds eat with prehensile upper lips.

It is in their nature to be aggressive. They will do anything to protect their babies from predators, mostly lions and spotted hyenas.

East Asia, specifically Vietnam, is the largest market for rhino horns. By weight, rhino horns cost as much as gold on the black market. People grind up the horns and consume them, believing the dust has therapeutic properties. The horns are made of keratin, the same type of protein that makes up hair and fingernails.[4] Both African species and the Sumatran rhinoceros have two horns, while the Indian and Javan rhinoceros have a single horn. The IUCN Red List identifies the Black, Javan, and Sumatran rhinoceros as critically endangered.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003eCollectible Wildlife Toys is the market leader in providing high quality, realistic toys of all types!

About Polar Bears (Ursus maritimus) Bears on ice The ultimate ice skating champion is the polar bear. Without the need for skates, this animal has learned to slide easily across a sheet of ice on his back, walk rather wobbly on all four hairy feet, or glide flat on his belly with his long neck stretched out in front of him. The world of the polar bear is different than the world in which most humans live. For one thing, it is very cold where the polar bear lives. The polar bear needs to take advantage of the long days in the Arctic summer so he can hunt for food in order to build up a layer of blubber to sustain him when he hibernates through the harsh winters. This clever animal can break through the thick ice using his keen sense of smell to detect a fish or even larger animals. He has been known to eat walrus, beluga whale and bowhead whale. Polar bear on ice flow in Wager Bay (Ukkusiksalik National Park, Nunavut, Canada)Photo taken by Ansgar Walk 23 July 1996 Females have their babies during the hibernation period. The mother bear has been known to burrow deep into the ice to hibernate. She then sleeps through the winter and is barely aware that the cubs have been born. In the springtime when the cubs begin to move around, the mother wakes up. She teaches the cubs to fish, swim and catch their food. Polar bears are the largest of the carnivores. Polar Bear mother and cub, Liefdefjord, SvalbardPhoto by Michael Haferkamp, July 2002 In the 1970s polar bears were declining and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) took note. These animals were then declared as a threatened species. Although it was difficult to know exactly how many bears were alive in the wild at any one time, it was estimated there were only a few thousand bears left. As of 2008, conservation efforts had been fairly successful, although the World Conservation Union (IUCN) estimated there were only between 20,0000-25,000 surviving pairs. The fear is that without continued efforts at conservation this number will drop rapidly. The polar bears are threatened by unrestrained hunting and habitat encroachment. Most significantly, the worst peril facing the polar bears is the loss of the bear's range due to the melting of the ice sheet. Polar Bear Mother and Cub, Liefdefjord, SvalbardPhoto by Michael Haferkamp, July 2002; source, Wikimedia Commons At the North pole the polar bears are at the top of their food chain. This means they have no predators to worry about. The biggest risk today for the polar bear is climate change. Melting of the ice sheet means that polar bears spend more and more time on dry land. So although these bears have increased in number since the 1970s thanks to conservationists, the destruction of their habitat is still the biggest problem facing the bear today. If the ice sheet continues to melt, forcing the bear on dry land, then how will the bear continue to be the ultimate ice skater?
