All those times I have been in the Wild I have observed the life of different animals including Rhinocerous,
Rhino is the second largest living land mammal after the Elephant. The Rhino skin is virtually hairless,except the edges of the ears.The skin is thick and soft but becomes extremely hard and durable after drying.The ears can spin to various angles or rotate in complete circle, each moving to a different direction. They often appear to be mutilated.The Rhino has two pointed ,tapering and uneven horns vertically projecting from the the nasal region and which curve gently backward,the front one is more prominent than the other. Rhino horns are not attached to the bony structure of the skull but are of fibrous texture growing out of the skin not like the other animal.Horns that break accidentally can grow again.Their social organization -Rhinos are invariably found in twos,often a mating pair but usually a cow and her calf. Occasionally ,a cow with two calves of different ages, a small family group that usually include a number of females with their young are spotted.Rhino appear to be monogamous ,couple tend to establish permanent relationships.
