The rhinoceros’s horn and massive leathery frame belie its docile and solitary nature, causing the animal to be consistently perceived by humans as a monster to be feared. Kelly Enright now deftly sifts fact from fiction in Rhinoceros. Enright chronicles the vexed interactions between humans and rhinos, from early sightings that mistook the rhinoceros for the mythical unicorn to the eighteenth-century display of the rhinoceros in Europe as a wonder of nature and its introduction to the American public in 1830. The rhinoceros has long been a prized hunting object as well, whether for its horn as a valuable ingredient in Asian medicine or as a coveted trophy by nineteenth-century big-game hunters such as Theodore Roosevelt, and the book explains how such practices have led to the rhino’s status as an endangered species. Enright also considers portrayals of the animal in film, literature, and art, all in the service of discovering whether the reputed savagery of the rhino is a reality or a legacy of its mythic past. A wide-ranging, highly illustrated study, Rhinoceros will be essential for scholars and animal lovers alike.

This could be due to their heavily built body structure and horns that are unlike any other land mammal. Two species of Rhino live in Africa and three Rhino species live in Asia. The Asian rhinoceroses are quite smaller than their African counterparts. These creatures, with their prehistoric looks, prefer the solitary life, which means they like to live by themselves. Sometimes you might see Rhinos charging trees or termite mounds. It is not because they are crazy, but more likely because of their weak eyesight. Surprising, isn’t it? No wonder they rely on their sense of hearing, smell and of course their little friend, Oxpecker, who takes a free ride on them and alerts the Rhinos when they are danger, by sounding a special alarm. Join us, as we explore the world of Rhinos including; their habitat, species, behavior, characteristics and some other interesting facts, while answering the most important question - Why are they faced with the risk of being critically endangered and who is really behind all of this? Are you curious? Then read on to find out. The answer might just surprise you.
