All Rhino Species |
|
In modern rhinoceroses, which are confined to Asia and Africa, the skin is from half an inch to one and a half inches thick. There are three toes on each foot, and the one or more horns upon the nose are formed of compressed hair. Rhinos are exclusively vegetarian, Asiatic kinds being swamp dwellers, whilst those of Africa affect open country, feeding on grass or leaves.
