Why are Rhino Horns More Valuable Than Gold

#theherbivores #herbivores #nature
It’s a hard pill to swallow: rhino horn can fetch up to $60,000 per kilogram on the black market. That makes it one of the most valuable substances on the planet, surpassing gold and platinum. 💸

But here’s the catch—it’s made of keratin. The same stuff in your own hair and nails. 💇‍♂️💅

So why the insane price tag?
🔹 The Medicine Myth: Despite no scientific proof, it's still used in some cultures to "treat" everything from hangovers to terminal illness.
🔹 The Status Symbol: Owning or gifting rhino horn has become a dangerous way to flaunt wealth and power.

The high price isn't just a number—it’s a target on the back of every rhino left in the wild. 💔
