You are probably exhausted from all this Good News, so this is a Fun Thing to keep you cheery. You can work from one end to the other, finding your way along the tan part. Mouth to bottom, just like a turnip would. Some Fun, huh?!
Big, Bigger, Biggest
We are Big Animals. Not as big as elephants, but Big. Also, there are hippos, which are also Big. You probably knew that already.
Today elephants would be biggest, but even so, among all the elephants on Earth, only one can be the biggest one. Everybody else comes in somewhere down the line. And by tomorrow, some other elephant may have gained 2 pounds, and take over the crown. As a group, they are Big.
Bigness has some issues as a topic. Which Rhino is bigger than which hippo? Which Rhino is bigger than another, and how would We tell? We are not into scales and weighing ourselves or one another. We own no tape measures. Still, We are Big Animals. We Rhinos mostly evaluate these Bigness matters by bumping into one another and seeing who falls over. In the Wild, where We live, much is revealed through rough-housing, however noisy.
The key topic associated with Bigness is Food. We each have a lot of body to maintain and sustain. A Big Body is a Big Responsibility.

Supper’s On!
We eat vegetables, grasses, green stuff- nothing else. A lot of plants. We cannot do without them, and what is truly astounding is that Nature provides enough for all of Us. A few bad years, occasionally, but…
The Five Families live in five different locales, so We eat what is available where We are. We are nothing, if not versatile. Run short of one thing, move on to another, wherever it may grow.
We are diligent chewers. We work a big bunch of hours a day, locating and munching vegetables and grass and fruit and leaves. We are built to thrive on it, and We have- for 55 million years. Some track record, right? For both Us and the vegetables.
