Rhinoceros

Massive horned mammal

A rhinoceros is a large, thick-skinned herbivorous mammal native to Africa and Asia, distinguished by one or two horns on its snout.

The animal's bulk and armor-like hide make it a symbol of brute strength and near-invulnerability: charging like a rhinoceros.

Often shortened to rhino.

Several species are critically endangered due to poaching for their horns.
