A3 in graphite and charcoal of the endangered rhino. Rhinos are poached for their horns which are used in traditional Asian medicines. Horn is made from the same material as human nails and has never been proven to have any medicinal value, however thousands have their horns removed, sometimes leaving the rhino alive with terrible wounds, but usually dying. Methods such as injecting dye, rendering the horn unusable and unsellable, have been used to deter poachers.
