The rhino destroys its dung by using the soles of its hind feet, with which its throws its dung backwards and makes it very small. On the dung piles it makes deep furrows. The dung is so much crumbed that it is almost invisible to the eye. Under special occasions, when it is in a hurry, the rhino will not destroy its dung.
