گينڊو (Rhinocerose) قديم يوناني نالي، "رهينوڪيروس" (ῥινόκερως، نڪ-سڱن وارو)، بن يوناني لفظن "رهس" (ῥίς، نڪ) ۽ "ڪئراس" (κέρας، سڱ) جو مرڪب آهي، خاندان "رهينوسيروٽيڊائ" (Rhinocerotidae) ۾ هڪ-کر واري جانورن (perissodactyls) جي پنج موجوده نوعن ۽ ڪيترن ئي ختم ٿيل نوعن مان ڪنهن جو ميمبر آهي. اهو سپر فيملي، رهينوسيروٽڊيا (Rhinocerotoidea) ۾ واحد زنده خاندان آهي، جن جي ميمبرن کي گينڊا (خاندان) پڻ سڏيو ويندو آهي. موجوده نسلن مان ٻه آفريڪا جا آهن ۽ ٽي ڏکڻ ايشيا ۽ ڏکڻ اوڀر ايشيا جا آهن.

A rhinoceros (/raɪˈnɒsərəs/ RY-noss-Ə-rəss; سانچو:Etymology; سانچو:Etymology; سانچو:Plural form: rhinoceros or rhinoceroses), commonly abbreviated to rhino, is a member of any of the five extant species (or numerous extinct species) of odd-toed ungulates (perissodactyls) in the family Rhinocerotidae. It is the only living family in the superfamily Rhinocerotoidea (whose members are also sometimes called rhinoceroses). Two of the extant species are native to Africa, and three to South and Southeast Asia.

Rhinoceroses are some of the largest remaining megafauna: all weigh over half a tonne in adulthood. They have a herbivorous diet, small brains 400–600 g (14–21 oz) for mammals of their size, one or two horns, and a thick 1.5–5 cm (0.59–1.97 in), protective skin formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure. They generally eat leafy material, although their ability to ferment food in their hindgut allows them to subsist on more fibrous plant matter when necessary. Unlike other perissodactyls, the two African species of rhinoceros lack teeth at the front of their mouths; they rely instead on their lips to pluck food.

Rhinoceroses are killed by poachers for their horns, which are bought and sold on the black market for high prices, leading to most living rhinoceros species being considered endangered. The contemporary market for rhino horn is overwhelmingly driven by China and Vietnam, where it is bought by wealthy consumers to use in traditional Chinese medicine, among other uses. Rhino horns are made of keratin, the same material as hair and fingernails, and there is no good evidence of any health benefits. A market also exists for rhino horn dagger handles in Yemen, which was the major source of demand for rhino horn in the 1970s and 1980s.
