Rhino, one of the most critically endangered animals in the world is a much sought-after commodity in the underground markets of China. Though traditional Chinese medicine claims that the rhino horn has several medicinal properties modern science has rejected it. Rhino horns are made of keratin, the same type of protein that makes up hair and fingernails.
This has however not stopped Rhinos from being killed for their horns, both in Africa and Asian countries including India.
