Rhinoceros

By Ian McPherson

This is all about

me ! Right?My life story!!

Hm hm hmm!

Asian rhinos are excellent swimmers . They can swim across large rivers without any trouble!

100 meter freestyle!! What!?!

Rhinos’ horns are used for a tool to dig up salt to eat, and of course, to fight!

That was my marshmellow

Timmy!!

My horns are also good for toasting marshmallows!!

Rhinos have symbiotic relationships which means they have friends that are other animals. In a rhinos’ case, it is a bird which eats insects found on the rhino’s back.

Faster bird brain.

Inside their hooves rhinos have soft pads to carry and cushion their tremendous weight!

Gosh this foot

S.T.I.N.K.S!

White rhinos have very large heads so they have humps in their backs that carry huge masses of muscles to carry their large heads!

GET that camera OUT of

my face!!

There was once a kind of rhino that was as tall as two school buses!

A rhino has enough force to overturn a car or truck!!

Some rhinos looked like a horse.

I helped start the idea of

unicorns!!

This tiger ain’t strong enough!!

My pants are soggy!!!
