This attractive and fun book is packed with fascinating facts about the ever-popular subject of Rhinos. As fearsome giant vegetarians of Africa and Asia, but much more frequently encountered in zoos, Rhinos are a favourite animal of many people around the world.
Did You Know? Rhinos reveals interesting tidbits such as the meaning behind the name Rhinoceros. In the word Rhinoceros, 'rhin' means 'nose' and 'ceros' means 'horn', so the name translates as 'nose-horn'.
Rhinos are often crepuscular, meaning that they are most active around sunrise and sunset in order to avoid the heat of the day. There are five species alive today, but fossils reveal that various other Rhinos, including Woolly Rhinos, once roamed the Earth.
Each spread covers a different aspect of Rhino life, from Special adaptations and Family life to Ancestors and relatives and Skin care?
The book contains bite-sized chunks of interesting information coupled with stunning photographs, which combine to make this an engaging and entertaining introduction to the subject that's bound to capture the imagination of any reader.
