Rhinos do not have intricate machinery like this, partly because We don’t own Anything, and more to the point, because We don’t need it.
Rhinos are blessed with a wonderful set of teeth, big and ready for action. We just pop some greens into our mouths, work our jaws a bit, and Hey Presto!: coleslaw!
It’s a Brilliant System, for which all Rhinos are profoundly grateful.
Rhinos do not shop as our Readers do. Rhinos go from here to there, selecting and devouring whatever vegetation looks promising at the moment. We have a wide variety of plants that go down with ease. Healthy appetite, healthy digestion.
One thing about our Produce: it’s always fresh. And in season.
Many young Rhinos are Naturally endowed with a fair share of Sass, a form of Defiance usually associated with dealings with Authority. Adult Rhinos give a little rope for these shenanigans.
That said, Rhino Patience has limits.
The result is usually ‘Sass Curtailed‘, a revised understanding of Rhino Decorum.
Rhinos in the Wild can live into their 30s, but events often shorten our life span, Naturally. The longest lived Rhino on record today has made it to 50- in captivity. That is all Nature allots Us.
Rhinos and Lobsters seldom cross paths, for obvious reasons. What you may not know is that Lobsters can live Forever. Really, no joke. Left alone and free from injury or disease, there is no Natural reason for them to die- Ever. They are unique that way.
Look it up. We did and were impressed, for sure.
Tonight the full Moon is very close to Earth. All sensible critters of any bulk will find something to cling to. The Tidal Pull of the Moon may strike at any moment, and away We will sail. Up, up and away.
That may sound like fun, but let’s be sensible; how do We get home again?
A Word to the Wise, right?!?
We would not like to give the impression that Rhinos are Blunderers. We are not. At least not all of Us.
But there is the occasional Rhino with Blundersome Tendencies, there’s no denying.
It may be genetic. Maybe.
Rhinos know stuff about bugs. They buzz around, eat something or other, make baby bugs, and then die. Their lives are short. We know what they do. What We don’t know much about is how they feel about it, what they think about as they tend to their business.
Actually, We can’t honestly say We know what other Rhinos are contemplating from hour to hour. And truth to tell, We are often vague about whatever We ourselves are up to. Right?
We generally have lot more evidence for the Whats than We have for Whys.
From time to time, even the most stouthearted Rhino may acquire an ailment of one sort or another. It is at times like these that We must exercise stamina. We must persevere.
We must be Patient, as it were.
Talk about a challenge!
In 1556 the worst Earthquake ever recorded occurred in Shaanxi, China. 830,000 people died, whole villages were destroyed, mountains, roads and rivers were all reconfigured in a single night.
Nature reminds Us that no condition should be taken for granted. Whatever species We belong to.
For those of you who plan to be at the Chitwan National Park tomorrow, the weather looks to be temperate. January is a dry month in Nepal, so leave your umbrella at home.
Your Inner Rhino has worldwide sources of information.
While in the area, you may like to look at Mount Everest, but We do not recommend climbing it. It is slippery, and there is no air at the top. Need We say more?
