Sovereignty, Ancient Wisdom, Solitude, Strength
 
 
 
 
Of the 2 species of rhino in Africa and 3 in Asia, all are listed as endangered, requiring protection to prevent extinction.
 
 
 
 
Although it appears invulnerable, a rhino’s skin is very sensitive. Mud baths act as sunscreen and insect repellant.
 
 
 
 
Because they are nearsighted, rhinos are easily startled and may charge, reaching speeds up to 40 miles per hour.
 
 
 
 
Rhinos are killed by poachers in an illegal trade for the rhinos’ horns, which are mistakenly thought to be medicinal.
