Endangered Dwarf Rhinoceros  (Rhino) :  The rare endangered dwarf rhino which was believed to be extinct

was recently found in the house of Mr.Robert Gogoi (name changed) living in Guwahati ,Assam, India. They have been  keeping dwarf rhinos as pets for generations now and they say that the rhinos are a very important part of their lives and are treated as members of the family. There are several other families in guwahati that keep dwarf rhinos as pets too.

These special rhinos only feed on a special type of rice called basmati  rice ,which can be easily found in the 

plains of Assam, their natural habitat. They are usually found in black but there are also super rare albino dwarf rhinos which have managed to survive because of captive breeding

Scientists say that there is also a super rare breed of black dwarf rhino ,which is more black then the normal black rhino.They are mostly one-horned but the number of horns can range from 1 to 5 depending on the age of the rhino.They are slow creatures like the sloth. Dwarf rhinos scientific name is 'Xiphos rhinocerotidae' .
