It is Beatrix Potter’s birthday today (1866). She is best known for The Tale of Peter Rabbit, but she wrote another 20 highly successful books concerned with the imaginary daily lives of small critters in England. Her stories are kindly, with an underlying dry humor.

Ms. Potter was also an enthusiastic and effective Conservationist, preserving her Lake District homelands. To Us Rhinos, that looks like a job well done. Thank you, Ma’am.

Here you see the Rhino version of her hedgehog laundress, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle. Let’s face it: Rhinos have a knack for mimicry and disguise.
