"Kaziranga National Park is home to 2,200 Greater One-horned Rhinos, which is about two-thirds of the world's population," he said.

"This triumph in India also comes with more good news, as @wwf also reports that the world population of the rare rhino soared to around 3,700 from about 200 at the turn of the 20th century," he said.

The actor also posted an image of a rhinoceros on Instagram.
