Follow the formative years of zebra, giraffe and hyenas as they mature with the help of some professional human caregivers.

Southern white rhinos are in trouble. For years, a rumor has been spreading that their horns can be used to cure cancer, and poachers have been targeting these gentle creatures. Sandra Markle takes readers behind the scenes to see how civilians, volunteer organizations, and African governments are working together to protect rhinos.

When a loud-mouthed tickbird lands on Rupert the rhino's nose and starts a symbiotic relationship, the reserved Rupert is mortified, until he realizes they just might be the perfect pair.

Photographs and simple text describe the grassland habitat, physical characteristics, behaviors, and diets of rhinoceroses.

With their enormous size and distinctive horns, rhinoceroses are immediately recognizable. Unfortunately, threats such as habitat loss, poaching, and natural disasters are causing these incredible animals to disappear from their natural habitats. Readers will find out how rhinos live in the wild and what roles they play in nature. They will also learn about the history of human-rhino interactions and find out what people are doing to save these animals from extinction.
