Rhinos ( rhinocerotidae ) are imposing mammals that inhabit Africa and Asia. They stand out for their spectacular horn, which is made of keratin (the same protein that forms the nails and hair of other animals). In addition, it is a solitary and territorial animal that occasionally forms small groups.
On the other hand, the brain of these mammals is very small compared to their large size. In fact, they can weigh more than a ton. Likewise, African rhinos lack front teeth, although they do have molars to grind up food.
Unfortunately, these animals are in danger of extinction due to poaching. In traditional Chinese medicine, the horns of rhinos are used to make natural remedies. However, it is not proven that rhino horn can cure any disease.
Also, these mammals are very popular on social media. On Instagram, the hashtag #rinoceronte shows more than 75,000 posts. Likewise, your search in English (rhinos) reflects more than a million images on this network. And is not for less! Since they are the most spectacular animals.
