The members of the genus ''Rhinoceros'' are the one-horned rhinoceroses. The word "rhinoceros" is of Greek origin; "rhin" meaning "nose", and "ceros" meaning "horn". The genus contains two species, the Indian Rhinoceros (''Rhinoceros unicornis'') and the Javan Rhinoceros (''Rhinoceros sondaicus''). Although both members are endangered, the Javan Rhinoceros is one of the most endangered large mammals in the world with only 60 individuals surviving in Java (Indonesia). A fossil jawbone of an extinct species, ''Rhinoceros philippinensis'', was found in the Philippines. ==Species== The genus ''Rhinoceros'' comprises: *†''Rhinoceros hemitoxhus'' *†''Rhinoceros leptorhinus'' *†''Rhinoceros megarhinus'' *†''Rhinoceros philippinensis'' *''Rhinoceros sondaicus'' Javan rhinoceros * *''Rhinoceros sondaicus annamiticus'' Vietnamese Sunda rhinoceros * *''Rhinoceros sondaicus inermis'' Indian Sunda rhinoceros * *''Rhinoceros sondaicus sondaicus'' Indonesian Sunda rhinoceros *''Rhinoceros unicornis'' Indian rhincoeros 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rhinoceros (genus)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
