Indian Rhinoceros

As a sequel of sorts to my post yesterday, today’s post features one of the newest animals at the zoo, the Indian Rhinoceros. This is actually a pretty rare animal, as it was once hunted to near extinction. Not many zoos have them, so I feel privileged to be able to see them for myself. Fun trivia fact, this animal is actually the true “Unicorn”. This is actually still reflected in its Latin name, Rhinoceros unicornis even though no one actually calls it a unicorn any more. In the passages of the Bible that speak of Unicorns, this is what the ancient writers were talking about, not the mythical horned horse that everyone now associates with the word unicorn.
