INTERESTING FACT

Stop and smell the bush.

If you ever come across a curious or nervous rhino, you will most likely see it searching for a scent. Rhinos rely heavily on their sense of smell as well as their hearing. This is due to their poor vision making it difficult for them to see. Therefore they need to rely on their other senses, which are heightened. The also use their sense of smell to communicate with each other. They can use the scent of urine and dung to identify other individuals, determining their age (roughly) and their sex.
