Before this year, scientists counted 650 rhinos in Nepal. In 2021, scientists counted 750 rhinos in Nepal. Scientists think that because there are no tourists in Nepal right now, the rhinos are becoming more comfortable, and are living better lives.
Rhinos are famous because of their large horns. There are not many rhinos in the world. This is because some people kill rhinos for their horns. Killing rhinos is illegal in all countries.
