What are Rhinoceros Horns used for?

I see it as a major problem that rhinos are killed by poachers just for their horns. The poachers will drive them to their extinxtion.





So... what exactly are these Horns and other bones used for???

What are Rhinoceros Horns used for?
The rhinoceros horn isn%26#039;t a bone nor is it ivory (modified dentition), it%26#039;s modified hair and it%26#039;s used for defensive purposes by the Rhino. Many human cultures equate the rhino horn with fertility and will either use the rhino horn for that application or as a prized knife handle. The other parts or the Rhino aren%26#039;t valuable and are left behind by poachers.
