All Rhino Species |
|
The rhinoceroses have thick, horny skins, scantily haired. There are three toes, terminating in small hooves, on each foot. One or two horns are borne on the muzzle; these are derivatives of the skin, similar composition as hair, and have no bony core. Despite its reputation, the horn of the rhinoceros has no medicinal value.
