Heavy feet pound ... "Nose horn" charges ... Meet the rhinoceros! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, Rhinoceroses treats middle-grade researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of this mighty mammal. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the animal's relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while a Malaysian folk tale about the rhino adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
