In SE Asia, where We Sumatran Rhinos come from, things are jungly and hilly and pleasingly unpredictable. So it should come as no surprise that We have become light on our feet, and agile to a fault. We often practice as shown, just to keep ourselves prepared. Practice, practice, practice.
Also, a good sense of balance is a help. Also a sunny disposition.
We eat grass. Marvelous what comes from that humble occupation, right?
Just plain Astounded, that’s Us!
Lighten up.
Occasionally our imaginations go haywire, suggesting We are superior to the rest of Creation. High and Mighty and La-Di-Dah, too: Fancy-Pants Syndrome.
That is not how Rhinodom works. Each of Us is responsible for self-governance. No Rhino rules another. Each of Us contributes to the enhancement of the Family in its Cosmic Sense.
When We do become Insufferable, Nature steps in, delivering a swift kick to our rearmost regions. And usually None Too Soon.
Wake-Up Calls are part of the Natural System.
When We are scooting around in the Wild, We get revved up. Some sort of whiz-bang happens inside, which is called Endorphins. We feel great, very Can Do. Not so much nutso, as Dynamic and Electromagnetic. And occasionally Heliotropic.
That is one reason you may see Us taking it easy from time to time. We just have to download; there is only so much Joy anybody can stand without having a Spontaneous Combustion.
Announcing that We have made our 100th Post, here on Your Inner Rhino! We are feeling good.
Thank you.
Who’s the Biggest One of All?” We wouldn’t ask if We were not the answer, right? Right. Indricotheres! the largest land mammals that ever lived: Indricotheres!!!! 15 million years of success, give or take some million.
(Please recall that when We count to four We get unsure of ourselves. We are haphazard statisticians.)
We weighed in at about 16 tons, more or less or more, and stood 18 feet at the shoulder. The picture gives you the idea. No horns. We worked our way across Asia and Asia Minor, ambling around the seas that were popular Back Then. Eating whatever greens Nature provided. Dietary Flexibility: an R Family tradition.
We offer some Mongolian decor, to help you remember our stomping grounds. Indricotheres ‘retired’ 20 million years before the first Mongol picked up a paintbrush, but We needn’t get fussy… It’s the Big Picture, right?
An acknowledgement of Accomplishments where Rhino input was modest, mostly.
Happy 259th Birthday, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart!
Yes, that’s Us Rhinos all right, ready for the Challenge, following our Destiny. Onward, then Onward some more. Been there, done that, by going there and doing it. Excelsiors-and-Then-Some, that’s Us. (Or We, if you want to get persnickity.)
Please notice, there is no globe in this image. Flat Earth Theory allows for vertical irregularities, so We are still good.
Also, no raccoon was harmed in the making of this image.
