Rhinoceros
Rhinoceros in Greek means ‘horned nose’. Today the rhino is still hunted for its horn. Previously it was believed the horn had medicinal purposes & could stop nose-bleeds & treat fever.
The horn is made of keratin which is the same protein as your hair & fingernails. Rhinos are heavy – weighing up to 1 ton. Rhinos have very bad eyesight but an excellent sense of smell & hearing. They charge when they are startled & can sprint up to 45km/hr!
