Introduction

Rhinoceroses are one of the major attractions among all large land mammals
in any zoo or a wildlife enclosure. This could be due to their heavily built
body structure and horns that are unlike any other land mammal. Two
species of Rhino live in Africa and three Rhino species live in Asia. The
Asian rhinoceroses are quite smaller than their African counterparts.
These creatures, with their prehistoric looks, prefer the solitary life, which
means they like to live by themselves. Sometimes you might see Rhinos
charging trees or termite mounds. It is not because they are crazy, but more
likely because of their weak eyesight. Surprising, isn’t it? No wonder they
rely on their sense of hearing, smell and of course their little friend, Oxpecker,

who takes a free ride on them and alerts the Rhinos when they are danger, by
sounding a special alarm.
