Just look at that sleeping rhino's eye and understand he/she dreams of nothing more threatening and harmful than the plains of Africa or where to forage for its next vegetarian meal. And those ears - little trumpets. The rings around the eyes that make one so young look so old - almost as old as the dinosaurs. But the horn, the thing that dooms this little fellow and others like him because of some antiquated notion of magic potion that enhances fertility. If anyone wants to get excited about woo woo let this be the cause that might compel one to counteract such ignorance with a vengeance.
