Rhino horns are not what they seem

Unlike elephant tusks or cattle horns, rhino horns are made entirely of keratin — the same protein found in human hair and fingernails. They're essentially compressed hair that grows continuously throughout the rhino's life.

A book by Kees Rookmaaker with chapters by Joachim K. Bautze and Kelly Enright.
