Vows of Affectionate Regard are always welcome, no matter what critter is on the receiving end.
It’s our privilege to know you.

Contending with Frustration
Rhinos’ days are not always sunny or bonny or jolly. Now and then, We get our Hopes up, and then have the related Expectations confounded. Such events can be demoralizing.
We enjoy feeling ‘wronged’ for a few minutes. Then We go get some lunch.
That activity always perks Rhinos right up.
Ever Responsive
In answer to countless Inquiries from ‘Your Inner Rhino’ Readers:
It takes roughly 286 9-banded Armadillos to weigh as much as an Indian Rhino. Obviously, given RLimitations, We did not do this math, but We are assured it is close, give or take an Armadillo.
You asked. Now you know.
Mixed Greens
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.
Green Greens
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.
Havens
It’s hard to figure out just what makes a particular patch a Perfect Place to hang out. One Rhino’s idea of Bliss is different from another’s, and a Haven is always individualized.
It’s nice when you find the right spot, for sure.
Expiration Dates
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.
Alternative Lifestyles
A YIR Reader asks about Alien Life Forms here on Earth. We Rhinos have no good reason to doubt they exist, here or elsewhere. We have no visible proof to offer for Beauty or other subjective evaluations; why insist that Aliens conform to our Earthly Expectations?
For all We know, they are around Us all the time, attending to their Alien Agenda. Possibly they help Us out now and then. Why fuss about it?
“We shall see what We shall see” is the Rhino Approach to these issues.
On the Lookout
Rhinos are curious critters. We like to know things, to find things out. For instance, where do Moods come from, sunny or sour? Where do these mindsets spend their time before making themselves known?
We have arrived at no Conclusion thus far, which is standard for most Rhino Investigations. But should that forestall further Examination?
Answer: No.
On the other hand…
Structure guarantees Organization and things working according to Schedule. Structure guarantees Peace of Mind and a good night’s sleep.
What Structure seldom provides is a sense of Merriment and Pizzazz. Those Experiences do better in a Haphazard Wingding Environment.
That is what We Rhinos know, firsthand. We call it the Wild.
