First off, to relieve your minds, Baby Rhinos do not have a horn when they arrive. Thank heaven, say all Moms in a chorus. Loud.
But horns do start growing early on. It’s a gradual business and a delightful one for the Tot. Who wouldn’t like to see these nasal ornaments sprouting? Makes Us feel like Team Players, wee but dedicated. Boys and girls. Horns may start as insignificant lumps, but that’s only the beginning.
There is a lurking issue, and that is Itching. All one can do is endure it, and rub it. And stare at it as best one can. And ponder the marvels of Growing Up, which, let’s face it, are pretty Mysterious.
Horns require a good deal of attention, not only in youth but later too. They need care and honing on rocks and trees. We want the hornage We each get to reflect our awareness of how swell horns can be.
By the way, horns can be broken off, one way and another. They do grow back. Like your fingernails, they keep chugging, first to last. Pretty much a Wow experience- and oddly enough, one only We Rhinos are in a position to report on.

Beautiful, playful, and educational, my friend!
p.s. Every time I watch a good British classic, I want to be in your basement with you and Elias. Missing you so much! Next year in London?

I had no idea that the horn was a nasal passage. Is it possible that my Inner Rhino wrote
“Come Blow Your Horn”?

No no, confusion here… The horn is not hollow, so it would be difficult to play. The image that comes to mind is a chimney, which the horn(s) certainly is/are not. Dear me, I am flummoxed…

Getting born and growing up aren’t all that easy for any of us. But it’s nice to see that this Tot has such an attentive and concerned little friend, of quite a different species, looking on with such genuine interest/curiosity. Young kids do that so much better than grown-ups!

Well actually, that word was supposed to be mutely, not mutely. Somehow, mutely seems so “not me”.
