Rhino (Grrrr)


Rhinoceros's are pretty cool animals.(: they get their name from the greek, rhino meaning nose and ceros meaning horn. A Rhino's horn in made out of the same stuff that our hair and fingernails are made out of, so it's breakable, but still super stirdy.

Rhinos are mostly known for their bad eyesight, good hearing, and how they like to roll in mud a lot.

Some interesting things about the rhino is that they are related to zebras and horses, their vegetarians, a group of rhinos is called a 'crash' (makes sense right?), they can live to be as old as 70 to 75 years old and can weigh anywhere from 1 and a 1/2 tons to 2 tons, huge right? Even a baby rhino come's out hefty, weighing anywhere from 88 to 140 pounds.
