CRhinos may look tough, but their skin is actually quite sensitive. They can sunburn, and biting insects "bug" them. That's why they like to wallow in mud-it puts a layer between their skin and the sun and insects!
Rhinoceroses get their name from their most famous feature: their horns. The word rhinoceros comes from the Greek rhino (nose) and ceros (horn).
There are 5 types of rhinos:
Black, white, Sumatran, Javan, and Indian.
Javan and Indian Rhinos have only 1 horn.
Sumatran, black, and white rhinos have 2.
Rhinos are often hunted for their horns, which are falsely believed in some cultures to have medicinal uses.
