5 Interesting Facts About Rhinos!

A rhino's horn is made entirely of keratin - the same material as human fingernails and hair. It has no bone or ivory in it whatsoever, making the belief in its medicinal properties completely unfounded.
Rhinos have terrible eyesight - they can only see clearly up to about 30 metres, which is one reason they sometimes charge at unexpected objects. Their senses of smell and hearing, however, are extraordinary.
They communicate through dung - rhinos leave scent-marked dung piles called middens that convey information about identity, reproductive status and territory to other rhinos.
The northern white rhino is functionally extinct - only two females remain alive, both living in a protected sanctuary in Kenya. Scientists are racing to use preserved genetic material to save the subspecies.
Rhinos are surprisingly agile - despite weighing up to 2,300kg, the black rhino can sprint at up to 55km/h and turn with remarkable speed. Never assume a rhino is slow.
