Fun Facts for kids about the INDIAN RHINO
(bald like my dad?)
Where are Indian Rhinos born?
Even though the Indian Rhinoceros is not called the Nepal India Rhino, it can be found in both Nepal and India.
Oh, how quickly do Indian Rhinos grow up?
Baby calves stop drinking their mother's milk when they are a year-and-a-half old, but live with mom until a new baby Indian Rhinoceros is born, at which time, the toddler is chased off.
Can a person beat an Indian Rhino in a race?
Only if they are in a car. The Indian Rhinoceros can run 35 miles (55 kilometers) an hour… but don't worry, the Indian Rhino quickly runs out of gas and needs to take a rest stop.
Who has more hair, my dad or an Indian Rhinoceros?
I'm not sure, because both my dad and Indian Rhinos have very little hair… but I know Indian Rhinos weigh more. Males weight about 6,000 pounds (2,700 kilograms) and females weigh about half of that.
What do Indian Rhinos get for their 6th Birthday?
One great big horn, that's why their called the Great One-horned Rhino. The horn also looks great with their thick "suit or armor" skin.

One NOT SO FUN FACT about the Indian Rhinoceros
Unsure if Indian Rhino will celebrate many more Happy Birthdays because they are Endangered and face a VERY high risk of extinction in the wild. Fortunately, there are a lot more Indian Rhinos today (2,500) then there were 100 years ago (only 100).
