It's officially spooky season! I've got my pumpkin all ready, and I can pop out of it to jump scare with surprise hugs!

This art was done by a friend of mine.

Well, that's all the cool rhino facts that I've got in my brain. Feel free to spread these cool rhinoceros facts around to others.

Also, don't be afraid to hug your rhino fursuiter. We give big squeeze hugs... or at least, I do. ❤️🦏

(8) A rhino's skin is actually super sensitive to things like bugs and the sun. That's why rhinos roll around in mud and take mud baths.

(7) Did you know that a group of rhinos is called a crash? That's freaking cool! I might be biased with that, but I like it.

(6) Some rhinos are territorial, and they mark their territory with their scent by either poop, rubbing their nose on a tree, or pee on the ground. Hey, dogs do this too, but rhinos are like... way bigger dogs. So yeah. Tank puppies.

(5.5) However, with the creation of sanctuaries and humans who have been putting effort to help rebuild the rhino population, it is slowly but surely getting better. As a rhino fursuiter myself, this makes me beyond happy to see my favorite animal thrive and continue in our world.

(5) unfortunately, rhinos are... critically endangered. It saddens me to say it, but it's true. This is largely in part due to poaching for horns for "medicinal cures" (not proven by medical science), habitats being changed or lost in general, and even struggles with reproducing.

(4.5) Oh yeah, and they use it not only for combat, but they defend themselves in competitions with other rhinos, digging up roots in the ground, foraging for food, just for examples. Rhino horns do grow and regenerate over time, so a horn is never gone for good... until passing away, that is.

(4) speaking of rhino horns, did you know that a rhino's horn is made of keratin? It's the same stuff that humans find in their nails and their hair. Imagine growing a fingernail or a toenail on your nose, but it's a horn instead.

(3.5) But, rhinos can run at least 30 miles per hour, which is pretty fast considering how much weight one of them is packing. Also, they kind of have bad eyesight. However, trust me on this one. As a fellow rhino, you don't want to get charged by one of these.

(3) Despite their massive size and the fact rhinos can have different weights, depending on their species, they're actually herbivores. Yeah, you read that correctly. They eat leaves, grass, fruits, vegetables, branches, etc. All that body weight in them is a combination of fat, muscles, and bones.

(2) In Ancient Greek, the word 'rhinoceros' is actually a translation of two words put together. Rhino (nose) and Ceros (horn). Pretty cool, right? Literal nose-horns!

(1) Did you know that there are 5 different species of rhinos? There's two that live in Africa; white and black. The other three that live in Asia are Sumatran, Javan, and Indian.

Today, September 22nd, is world rhino day! I'd like to take this opportunity to give some cool rhinoceros facts for everyone. Being a rhinoceros myself, I'm happy that I generally get to talk about this.

This thread will have 8 cool rhino facts attached. Let's get into it!
