The word rhinoceros comes from two Greek words: rhino (nose) and ceros (horn), which means a horned-nose creature.
Then who am I...
So literally, without horns rhinos are not themselves anymore.
Today, there are 5 species of rhino: Black Rhinos and White Rhinos in Africa, Sumatran Rhinos, Javan Rhinos and Indian Rhinos in Asia. And the last challenge! Mr. Darkness, can you point out to us which back is your bride’s and which is bridesmaid Snowy’s? Darkness & Shadow WEDDING
How about I cancel the wedding?
Despite their misleading names, black and white rhinos are both gray.
The white rhino is the second-largest land animal on the planet, after the elephant.
Rhinos are speed machines!
They can run at speeds up to 40-55kph. Be sure to move out of their way fast!
Rhinos communicate by... doing a poo.
By sniffing poop at their communal latrine, they can get information about age, sex, general health and reproductive status of the poop’s owner.
A rhino’s BFF is a bird called the oxpecker. The bird rides on the rhino's back, eating bugs off its skin and warning it of possible threats. Run, sweetheart, run!!! A vampire bat is coming!!! ...
However, the BFF also eats blood from rhino’ wounds when it loves to.
Even the most ferocious wild animals don’t want to mess with rhinos. Biological equilibrium, aka BE, is the only thing that matters.
Everything else is BS.
Wherever herbivores are over-killed, rhinos show up making carnivores go away, herbivores, therefore, are saved. When herbivores over-multiply, rhinos leave so carnivores can come back for hunting.
Rhinos are also the best firemen of the forest!
Hey, what's your hurry, sweetheart?

They quickly detect the fire with their sensitive nose, rush in and stamp it out as soon as possible.
Because of a very large body size, a rhino has a very low reproductive rate. I’m not 6 years old yet...
Female rhinos do not conceive until about 6 years of age; their gestation lasts 16 months and they give birth to only 1 calf at a time. The period of birth between calves can range from 2 to 4.5 years.
Rhino horns are comprised of keratin, the main substance in human hair and nails, calcium and melanin.
In other words, they are no more magical than your ďŹ ngernails.
But many people now believe the myth than scientiďŹ c evidence.
