In this episode, we'll take a detailed look at the biology of the rhinoceros—a prehistoric tank that survived the Ice Ages.
We'll debunk the main myths about their vision, explain why their horn isn't bone but compacted keratin, and how three tons of muscle mass accelerates to 50 km/h. Harsh zoology, evolutionary adaptations, and the tragedy of the black market—everything you need to know about the true king of the African wilderness.
