the flying pig question

Young Rhinos ask a lot of questions, many of them perfectly valid. One such is the fact/fiction of pig flight or no, which is it, huh? Adult Rignos try to explain, but the question itself is always passed over. The reason is, if there are no airborne swine, why would anybody say so? The only answer that occurs to young Rhinos is that these pigs exist somewhere, or used to. If not, why mention them?

You can see how wearisome these discussions can get. However old a Rhino may be, it’s never old enough to escape the interrogation.

Reminder, all Rhinos have grandfathers; simple anatomical fact. But like father Rhinos, they depart before the baby is born. Only in zoos will a young Rhino meet a Dad Rhino. And by long tradition, fatherhood is a little understood state with our species.
