Animal Kingdom: Kilimanjaro Safaris

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

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:

"You think I could jump that moat and get at that truck load of soft chewy looking prey?"
"That truck over there? With all those colorfully dressed fleshy things?"

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.
