Title: A Black Rhino with its young at the Nairobi National Park Description: AFRICA, KENYA - A Black Rhino with its young at the Nairobi National Park (1971). Rhino horns in the Mid-70's were coveted to be used to make elaborately-carved dagger handles, symbols of wealth and status in thae middle east. This lead to a sharp decline in the population of Black Rhinoceros from 20,000 to less than 500 animals in ten years.
