The Kaziranga National Park, the last home of the highly endangered one-horned rhinoceros, is facing a peculiar phenomenon: while a considerably large number of rhinos are dying due to old age, tigers are also contributing their own way by killing at least 20 rhino calves every year. This year, for instance, as many as 53 rhinos have already died due to old age, while exactly 20 calves have fallen prey to tigers. Over and above these two reasons of Kaziranga losing so many rhinos a year, poachers too have contributed their might, often decamping with its horn after killing a rhino.
