Being equipped with a whole lot of Skin, Rhinos must protect ourselves from bugs and the sun. One effective method is the Mud Wallow, and another, where there is no water, is the Dust Bath.
Dust Bath technique is not complex. We roll around in some loose dirt, and it gives Us a coating of protection. Very Effective. Then We shake off any excess, in consideration of the next Rhino.
And all Natural, naturally. Try it, you might like it.
Rhinos assume that setting out with Good Intentions is better than setting out with Bad Intentions. We all want to support our fellow Critter.
But it is Good to Wait to be asked before starting to fix matters. Rhino experience is that about 83% of the time We have not assessed the situation right. Often, the one We intended to help 1) didn’t want it, or 2) didn’t need it , or 3) both.
Best Intentions don’t guarantee Best Results.
What possible perception would account for the Enormity of Nature’s Dynamic? What Critter could comprehend it, even to the smallest extent?
Well, it isn’t Us Rhinos. That’s for sure.
We don’t all eat twigs, We Rhinos. But from those of Us that do, to those of You who don’t, you might try it. Rounds out your diet and keeps your teeth sparkly.
Why not?!?
As such, Fame does not interest Rhinos. We have seen Fame in action, and are impressed with what a peculiar responsibility it creates for the Famous.
We admire the skills these folks have, and We applaud. Do We envy them their lives? No. Our Rhinotude is all We could ask for.
We can imagine that life. But that is quite enough of that for Us.
Mr. F.W. Epperson patented his creation of the Popsicle in 1924, though it had been a family favorite for years. It has now become a Summer Essential.
Rhinos might enjoy them, but We have no refrigeration. Also, the Post Office takes a dim view of frozen treats in the mail. Trust Us on that.
Today is the first day of Summer, Officially. Rhinos don’t know how that gets decided, but perhaps We don’t need to know.
Unofficially, We have noticed that the Fireflies are getting busy.
We are delighted to see them.
We Rhinos are never quite clear about which is our Left and which is our Right. We try to take the issue seriously, but can’t find a purpose for the Investigation. We figure half the time We are right, when We guess. Of course, that means that the other half, We are mistaken.
For all We know, Left and Right may be arbitrary, changing places as they see fit. Maybe some days they don’t even come to work.
That seems like the Right mindset. What other one is Left?
All Rhinos are Vegetarians. Nature provides the best Greens to keep Us Fit and Feisty. But if We ate up Everything, what would all the other Critters be munching? We share in the Wild. Diverse Critters, diverse Veg.
Rhinos have built-in Radar to scan a locale, and know where Rhino Foods are lurking. We just meander over and get acquainted. Warthogs get Warthog Food. Etc.
Trust Us; We’re grateful for those Veggies. Indeed We are.
We each had one, and some have gone on to become one themselves, so here’s lookin’ at you, Gentlemen!
Thanks.
Your Inner Rhino
