Rhinoceros (/raɪˈnɒsərəs/, meaning "nose horn"), often abbreviated to rhino, is a group of five extant species of odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae. Two of these species are native to Africa and three to Southern Asia.
Members of the rhinoceros family are characterized by their large size (they are some of the largest remaining megafauna, with all of the species able to reach one tonne or more in weight); as well as by an herbivorous diet; a thick protective skin, 1.5–5 cm thick, formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure; relatively small brains for mammals this size (400–600 g); and a large horn. They generally eat leafy material, although their ability to ferment food in their hindgut allows them to subsist on more fibrous plant matter, if necessary. Unlike other perissodactyls, the two African species of rhinoceros lack teeth at the front of their mouths, relying instead on their lips to pluck food.
Rhinoceros are killed by humans for their horns, which are bought and sold on the black market, and which are used by some cultures for ornamental or traditional medicinal purposes. East Asia, specifically Vietnam, is the largest market for rhino horns. By weight, rhino horns cost as much as gold on the black market. People grind up the horns and then consume them believing the dust has therapeutic properties. The horns are made of keratin, the same type of protein that makes up hair and fingernails. Both African species and the Sumatran rhinoceros have two horns, while the Indian and Javan rhinoceros have a single horn.

Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It covers an area of 19,485 square kilometres (7,523 sq mi) in the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in northeastern South Africa, and extends 360 kilometres (220 mi) from north to south and 65 kilometres (40 mi) from east to west. The administrative headquarters are in Skukuza. Areas of the park were first protected by the government of the South African Republic in 1898, and it became South Africa's first national park in 1926.
To the west and south of the Kruger National Park are the two South African provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga. In the north is Zimbabwe, and to the east is Mozambique. It is now part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, a peace park that links Kruger National Park with the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe, and with the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique.
The park is part of the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere an area designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as an International Man and Biosphere Reserve (the "Biosphere").
A national park is a park in use for conservation purposes. Often it is a reserve of natural, semi-natural, or developed land that a sovereign state declares or owns. Although individual nations designate their own national parks differently, there is a common idea: the conservation of 'wild nature' for posterity and as a symbol of national pride. An international organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on Protected Areas, has defined "National Park" as its Category II type of protected areas.
While this type of national park had been proposed previously, the United States established the first "public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people", Yellowstone National Park, in 1872. Although Yellowstone was not officially termed a "national park" in its establishing law, it was always termed such in practice and is widely held to be the first and oldest national park in the world. The first area to use "national park" in its creation legislation was the US's Mackinac Island, in 1875. Australia's Royal National Park, established in 1879, was the world's third official national park. In 1895 ownership of Mackinac Island was transferred to the State of Michigan as a state park and national park status was consequently lost. As a result, Australia's Royal National Park is by some considerations the second oldest national park now in existence.
Wild Animal is the 1984 debut solo album by Canadian singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress Vanity, released by Motown Records on November 10, 1984. This out of print recording was originally released on LP (6102ML) and cassette (6102MC). Despite her thin vocals, Wild Animal is a respectable solo debut. The singer's lyrics, often risqué, are not as raunchy as her work with Vanity 6.
The album features R&B/dance hit, lead single "Pretty Mess". The song is an infectious slice of funk-rock with a groove that sounds like's she's making an honest effort to forge head.Wild Animal is essentially an R&B album laced with big doses of rock and pop.
All songs published by Jobete Music Co., Inc. & Wolftoons Music (ASCAP). All lyrics and melodies composed by Vanity. All music composed, performed, and arranged by Bill Wolfer, except † lyrics composed by Robert Bruce McCan (Vanity's former boyfriend at that time).

Plot: Circa 1920 British India, Pindari leader, Prithvi Singh, narrates his story to a Report from London Times about betrayal and deceit at the hands of the British and Madhavgarh's Raja Gyanendra Singh which led to the massacre of 4500 Pindaris. Although Prithvi sliced off Gyanendra's right arm, he has sworn to avenge and behead him and two-faced Britishers - who on one hand preach about Justice, Fraternity and Equality, but conquer and rule vulnerable natives - fueling hate and division on lines of religion, and caste. He sends his sons, Veer Pratap and Poonam, to Britain to learn about their devious ways, so that he can conquer Madhavgarh. The duo, despite of Lord Macaulay's malicious policy to convert foreign nationals to his way of thinking, not only pick up the relevant skills but also slay Yuvraj Sujan Singh, the only son of Gyanendra, much to the joy of the Pindaris. But Prithvi is in for a shock when he finds out that Veer has decided to wed Yashodhara, Sujan's sister, little knowing that she, after being crowned Yuvraji, has sworn to eliminate all enemies of Madhavgarh at any and all costs.

AS SEEN ON NatGeo WILD! A battle between a Buffalo and a Rhino to the Death - filmed in South Africa. This is the only video ever filmed where a Rhino throws a buffalo in the air - that's over a ton of buffalo thrown in the air by a Rhino. The buffalo died the next day of its wounds. Don't underestimate the power of a rhino. ************************ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GPEKKaSmZY Published on Oct 21, 2016 Elephants are disappearing at the staggering rate of 1 every 15 minutes.

RHINO HORN IS NOT MEDICINE Rhino have poor eyesight so their pathways are marked with scent, this shows you how the scent is spread... Basically the rhino has a midden/latrine site/toilet where he defacates/poops/sh*ts, after pooping the rhino kicks the faeces/poop/dung with his back feet enabling him to leave the scent of the poop on the ground as he walks away.

The people and the politics are making me nervous
Attention, the buzz master here at your service
I try to sing like there's nobody listening
I never forced anything on anyone
No, you couldn't stop the rhino (couldn't stop the rhino)
Can't take away what I no longer know
You couldn't stop the rhino
Yeah, oh alright
You see them in the movies and down at the zoo
Are you watching them, are they watching you?
It's okay they can't do what other animals can do
'Cause animal's where humans belong
No, you couldn't stop the rhino (couldn't stop the rhino)
Can't take away what I no longer know
You couldn't stop the rhino
Yeah, oh look at her run
Run like I've never seen
Out in the fields
Like you're supposed to be
Climb aboard
'Cause I wanna take you with me
All the way down
And I'll never be your soul's safe-keeping now
The people and the politics are helping you see
They all take their special little piece of me
They don't take it all, only more than they need
With no one left to put away the fire
No, you couldn't stop the rhino (couldn't stop the rhino)
Can't take away what I know, no, 'cause I know
You couldn't stop the rhino
Yeah, couldn't stop the rhino
Oh, you couldn't stop the rhino
Can't take away what I know, no, 'cause I know
You couldn't stop the rhino
