A rhinoceros , often abbreviated to rhino, is one of any five extant
species of odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae, as well as
any of the numerous extinct species. Two of these extant species are
native to Africa and three to Southern Asia.
Members of the rhinoceros family are characterized by their large size
(they are some of the largest remaining megafauna, with all of the
species able to reach one tonne or more in weight); as well as by an
herbivorous diet; a thick protective skin, 1.5–5 cm thick, formed from
layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure; relatively small
brains for mammals this size and a large horn.
