Rhinoceroses are fairly large, thick-skinned animals common in Africa and Asia. Rhinoceroses have rather poor eyesight, but given their size and power, this is no longer their problem. Here are some interesting and educational facts about these formidable animals. 
Where to start... Well, at least with the fact that rhinoceroses are absolutely real unicorns, without photoshop and hoaxes! They may not be as slender and without a silky mane, but, alas, reality is full of disappointments. Even magic horses are not what we would like them to be. But that doesn't mean they are bad! 
Well, why did you hang up the horn? Now let’s explain to everyone that you are a real unicorn, don’t worry!
Why is a rhinoceros a unicorn? Let's start with a definition. A unicorn is a horse with a horn. Get out your notebooks and we'll tick off the boxes. The first point is the horse. Judge for yourself: the rhinoceros has a hoof on each of its 12 toes, which makes it an equid animal on the same list as horses and tapirs. There is one tick. The second point is obviously also fulfilled. So rhinos are legitimate unicorns. Even if they are unrecognized. 
When you read in a fairy tale about a magical creature and realized that it was literally you!
A horn is not only a weapon for tickling enemies from the inside, but it also turns out to be a very useful thing in the household. Like an icebreaker through ice, a rhinoceros can make its way through the forest, using only its tenacity and a keratin appendage to part the thickets. The horn can be used to dig up roots, show off in front of competitors, and even check the density of a mud bath before swimming. Nobody wants to be pulled headlong into quicksand. 
Float like a butterfly, crush like a construction roller!
The horn can even be used as a walker! The females “motivate” the cubs to move in the desired direction with the help of their horns until the babies begin to move on their own. It is precisely because of its versatility that it is very sad that rhinoceroses have to have their horns cut off so that the animals become uninteresting to poachers. 
Another interesting fact: white rhinoceroses are the only animals other than humans that can afford bodyguards.
And with a horn you can go for a ramming attack! Although in the case of our well-fed “unicorn” we can do without horns. A one and a half to two ton body is capable of rushing a hundred meters at a speed of 60 km/h, and this is actually a collision with a ferocious living SUV. By the way, the beast is absolutely not afraid of real SUVs. From time to time, an enraged rhinoceros picks up or even overturns cars. 
Adding to their speed abilities is the fact that they are very short-sighted and massive - the world's largest rhinoceroses weigh more than 3 tons. In size, our plump unicorn is second only to elephants. True, from time to time the animal forgets about this. With his horn bald, he goes at the proboscis without a murmur. This is not to say that all attacks are successful: after all, the bishop is twice as large as its invading counterpart. 
The Indian rhinoceros is one of the smallest rhinoceros species. But even he is not afraid to go against a herd of elephants.
To maintain such dimensions and have the strength to sprint across the savannas, you definitely need to eat heavily. The rhinoceros needs you in the herbal equivalent - 50–80 kg of greenery every day. More precisely, every night, because rhinoceroses are another follower of the night watch. 
No time to chat, get out of here! We need to gain calories.
Even if the eyes fail horses with broad bones, their hearing and sense of smell are one hundred percent correct. The emphasis on smell has led to a very unique way of communication between animals. To demarcate their territory, rhinos use the same method that farmers use to fertilize their fields. The animals literally gush out their waste products. 
I wouldn't want to get caught in that kind of rain...
These are the real harsh and stubborn unicorns. Without shiny fur, a toned figure and shooting rainbows from his forehead. But they are the real ones!
