Rhino | Pickle Series

Rhino

The rhino is one of the biggest animals in the world.

They don't have any enemies so they don't fight or charge because they think they are going to be attacked. They charge because they get a scare.

And they only eat grass and plants, so they don't chase people to eat them! They get frightened easily and their natural instinct is to charge whatever has spooked them.

They are huge and solid and it's a good idea to get out of the way of a charging rhino!

The Lord will protect you from all danger; he will keep you safe.

Psalm 121:7-8

There are five species of rhino

Sumatran rhinoceros - Asia

White Rhinoceros - Africa

Javan rhinoceros - Asia

Indian rhinoceros - Asia

Black rhinoceros - Africa
