Rhinodom cannot accept the full credit for inventing Yodeling, you may be surprised to learn. That is because not all of Us yodel.
Each Rhino family has distinctive oral configurations, which determine just how We go about letting everyone know We are in the area. True, the Indian and Javan Families are pretty similar, but their environments are not, so their needs differ. Not every mouth can Yodel with ease, or even at all.
Yodeling is, after all, only one means of making an impression on the public.
Also, We have learned (the hard way) that Yodeling, though remarkably expressive, is attention getting. It goes against the Rhino grain of demure conduct. Those of Us who yodel no longer live where there are user-friendly land formations, which give Yodeling its zip. We now murmur-yodel. In some ways it resembles a cough.
We do not reside in Switzerland anymore. Sad but true.

Is yodeling truly a Rhino Thing? Oh, how I long to hear a Rhino yodel!

There might be an element of exaggeration associated with this post, but We do cough. Accuracy seems so 21st Century, and look where that has gotten Us.

Confessions aside, I would point out the key issue here is the varied bone structure of the skulls and mouth parts of the various R family branches. That is not hooey. And how one is put together does affect one’s yodeling capacities, that is widely known, probably. One beast’s yodel is another beast’s gurgle.
