	rhinoceros. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The rhinoceros family, along with the horse and tapir families, forms the order of odd-toed hoofed mammals.
		The fl rhinoceros, Diceros bicornis, of E and S Africa, has declined in numbers from about 65,000 in 1970 to 3,600 in 2004 (a total that represents an increase from the mid-1990s low of 2,400); there were 2 to 3 million at the beginning of the 20th cent.
		The white rhinoceros is second in size among land mammals to the elephant.

	Rhinoceros - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A male rhinoceros is called a bull, a female a cow, and the young a calf; a group of rhinoceros is called a "crash".
		Rhinoceros horns are used in traditional Asian medicine, and for dagger handles in Yemen and Oman.
		None of the five rhinoceros species have secure futures; the White Rhinoceros is perhaps the least endangered, the Javan Rhinoceros survives in only tiny numbers (estimated at 60 animals in 2002) and is one of the two or three most endangered large mammals anywhere in the world.

		The largest rhinoceros is the one-horned Indian rhinoceros Rhinoceros unicornis, which has a rough skin, folded into shieldlike pieces; the African rhinoceroses are smooth-skinned and two-horned.
		The African fl rhinoceros Diceros bicornis is 1.5 m/5 ft high, with a prehensile (grasping) upper lip for feeding on shrubs, and sometimes a smaller third horn.
		The rhinoceros fights with the elephant, and transfixing him with his horn carries him off upon his head, but becoming blinded with the blood of his enemy, he falls helpless to the ground, and then comes the roc, and clutches them both up in his talons and takes them to feed his young.

		A video was also made for "Rhinoceros", which was one of the Pumpkins earliest videos.

		A rhinoceros (commonly called a rhino for short) is any of five surviving species of odd-toed ungulate in the family Rhinocerotidae.
		None of the five rhinoceros species have secure futures: the White Rhino is perhaps the least endangered, the Javanese Rhino survives in only tiny numbers (estimated at 60 animals in 2002) and is one of the two or three most endangered large mammals anywhere in the world.
		This lack of evidence may stem from the fact that rhinoceros sightings overall in South East Asia have become very rare, largely due to widespread illegal poaching of the critically endangered animal.

	Rhinoceros - MSN Encarta
		Rhinoceros, common name for five species of enormous mammals with one or two horns projecting from their snouts.
		The two African species are the white rhinoceros, a relatively placid animal that is the largest of all rhino species, reaching a weight of over 3 metric tons, and the fl rhinoceros, which is about half as heavy as the white rhinoceros but much more aggressive.
		As a result of illegal trade in rhinoceros horn and habitat destruction, the populations of the fl, Sumatran, and Javan rhinos have suffered a sharp decline in recent years, and are now close to extinction in the wild.

	Rhinoceros - LoveToKnow 1911
		The Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis), the largest of the Asiatic forms, is the most widely known, from its being exhibited in zoological gardens.
		The first rhinoceros seen alive in Europe since the time when these animals, in common with nearly all the large remarkable beasts of both Africa and Asia, were exhibited in the Roman shows, was of this species.
		Their sight is very bad; but they are quick of hearing, and their scent is very keen; they are, too, often accompanied by rhinoceros birds, which, by running about their heads, flapping their wings, and screeching at the same time, frequently give them notice of the approach of danger.

	Rhinoceros Beetles

		Rhinoceros beetles use their horns for many different things - digging holes in the ground as hideouts, foraging through the heavily littered floor of rain forests, and fighting off other rhinoceros beetles.

	SparkNotes: Rhinoceros: Themes, Motifs, and Symbols
		Rhinoceros exposes the limitations of logic, and absurdity reigns as the dominating force in the universe.
		As Berenger says, if one were to read about the rhinoceros events in a newspaper, away from the action, one could be rational and detached, but in the midst of things one can't help getting involved.
		As many of the plays from the Theatre of the Absurd go, Rhinoceros is conscious of itself as a play, as when Jean suggests Berenger sees one of Ionesco's plays, but more so in the ways that it forces the audience to recognize the production before them as a play and not as a diversion.

		Rhinoceros was a great project, with three killer albums that didn't sell diddly in their day, and thus graced the cutout racks for years.
		Despite the fact that Rhinoceros was "conceived" as a studio project, the vocals of John Finley, the guitar of Danny Weis and the organ work of Mike Fonfara are the spearheads by which Rhinoceros advanced.
