Far from a slow-moving beast that appears to be a survivor from the past, the fast and nimble rhino is hardly the brute that its appearance suggests to many.
These incredible animals, capable of running at 30 mph, gentle plant eaters, no threat to their neighboring wildlife—if not threatened themselves—a relic from days gone by, with a gentle bleating voice that so contrasts with their physical presence, would seem to be a fascinating subject of endurance into modern times. Except for one thing, the object for which they are named and the reason they are being threatened with extinction—their horn.
We’ll delve into what makes that horn so special and different in the animal kingdom, plus discuss issues surrounding the rhino and its horn. For example, why their horn is so desired, the scourge of poaching and what people are doing to counteract that poaching—including a full section on the dehorning of rhinoceros in an attempt to discourage poachers with killer intent.
This book will also help familiarize you with their lifestyle and individual specifics, while helping you to recognize the fi ve species of rhino that still live in the wild. You will learn about their history and current status—and the dangers that have threatened them from the past to the present.
Dr. Robert Griffith MN’16, a member of The Explorers Club, writes in a concise, travel-journal manner about his experiences, while bringing the rhinoceros to life with beautiful photographs from his expeditions. Join him and enjoy the book.
