Fun Fact Friday: Rhino Horn

Given that rhinos are the animals we're raising charity funds for I decided I should learn more about them and discovered that:

"Rhino horn is not a true horn, it is made of thickly matted hair that grows from the skull without skeletal support" (see link below).

Am I the only person that didn't know that? And how interesting (and awesome is that).

I also read that the only predator of rhinos are humans. Isn't that depressing.

Sorry it's not a more cheerful Fun Fact Friday.

More on rhinos here.
