Things are looking up for the greater one-horned rhino.
The massive mammal, also called the Indian rhinoceros, saw its global population reach its highest level since the 1980s, according to the International Rhino Foundation, a Texas-based nonprofit focused on rhino conservation.
There are now a total of 4,014 greater one-horned rhinos in the wild, split between India and Nepal. Assam, the Indian province that hosts 70% of the species' population, just finished its biannual rhino survey and counted 274 more rhinos than the last survey.
