#NationalRhinoDay
This Rhino bust was from a #Rhinoceros captured in the early 20's. It was unfortunately hunted, as at the time no one knew the damage caused by poaching species so distinct as the Rhino. The magnificent horn is sought after by many cultures throughout the world for supposed #medicinal properties, a seeking out which doesn't have scientific grounds and among other threats (such as habitat encroachment) has pushed the species into a state of severe endangerment.
This particular piece of #taxidermy was masterfully restored from its deteriorating state by @GeorgeDante of Wildlifepreservations.com and is was donated to a museum after completion.

As of 2013, there are only 4 Northern White Rhino left in the wild, meaning that the northern variant is effectively genetically extinct. The Southern variant is actually considered an ecological success and as such is the posterchild for what can be done *for* an endangered species, with over 2000 living individuals.
