a word "rhino" (ρινόκερος) comes from the Greek words rhino (nose) and Kera (horn), and literally means "horned nose" and refers to the characteristic horns on the snout, which are also a valued trophy and the main reason from his hunting. Unlike the horns of other species such as antelopes, rhinos do not have a bony core, but are made of keratin, the same substance that forms hair and nails in other mammals. The two African species and the Sumatran rhinoceros have two horns, while the Indian and Java have only one.
The rhinoceros family is characterized by its large size, being of the few megafauna species considered existing today, along with elephants and hippos; all species may exceed at least a ton of weight. All are herbivores, and have a thick, tough skin, of between 1.5 and 5 cm thick, formed by superimposed layers of collagen. They have relatively small body size for brains (400 to 600 g). Although usually eat leaves, their ability to ferment food in the colon allows them to survive consuming more woody plant matter, such as roots and branches, if necessary. Unlike other species of odd-toed ungulates, the African species of rhinoceros lack teeth at the front of the mouth, using a powerful chewing premolars and molars to crush vegetable foodThe rhinocerotids (Rhinoceros, the Greek ρινός (RINO), "nose" and κερος (Keros), "horn"), known by the name of rhinos, are a family of placental mammals of the suborder ceratomorfos belonging to the order Perissodactyla.
There are five species: the white rhinoceros and black rhino in Africa; and Javan, Indian rhinoceros and Sumatran rhinoceros in Asia. According to the classification of condition drawn up by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the black rhino species and Java, Sumatra are "critically endangered" '; of India it is in "danger" and the target is considered "vulnerable".
In Spanish, in addition Rhino term, there abada1 word to describe these animals. Portuguese from the abbey, which is used to designate the female rhino, their use is currently limited.
