Definition
Plural of rhino, short for rhinoceros; large, thick-skinned mammals with one or two horns on their snouts.
Etymology
From Greek rhinokeros, literally 'nose-horn,' from rhis (nose) + keras (horn). The shortened form 'rhino' emerged in the 20th century as informal speech often abbreviates longer animal names.
Kelly Says
Rhinoceros literally means 'nose horn' in Greek, making it one of the most descriptively accurate animal names ever created. Despite their fearsome appearance, rhinos are actually herbivores whose horns are made of keratin - the same protein as human hair and nails.
