So, @Scottwdw, did your informative driver have anything to say as to why this rhino's horns are so short?

Never, ever smile at a Crocodile. The Muppets learned that the hard way.

I believe the Keepers trim them. In the natural world, they get huge. Sadly, people think the horns have some sort of healing or other properties which leads to illegal poaching. In essence, they are made of the same thing our finger nails are made of.
Awwww...how cute:

"That truck over there? With all those colorfully dressed fleshy things?"

At the end of a long day dodging safari vehicles and trying look interesting, you just can't wait for quitting time.

Daydreaming...
Why do I have to stay here with you boring old adults? I want to go play with the warthogs.

The white rhinos are usually out in the open. Black rhinos, however, are more likely to be hanging out in their back yard than strolling out front like this one.
