Rhinoceros Calf

Product Description

PAPO’s Rhinoceros calf is a “cute” – and big – little fellow!

The rhinoceros looks as though it has lumbered into our time from some primeval era. Its heavyset body stands on sturdy legs like tree trunks. Its eyes peer from a massive head that tapers to that battering ram of a horn. In our imaginations, the rhino is the embodiment of brute strength. Yet most of the time this fearsome creature is content to browse peacefully on vegetation. Oh, it’s salad… yummy!

The rhino’s ancestors walked the Earth 55 million years ago. One of these ancestors, the Paraceratherium, was 25 feet (7.6 meters) long and 18 feet (5.5 meters) high at the shoulder, the largest land mammal ever known. Throughout time, close to 100 rhinoceros species have existed, but today, only 5 species continue the line: 2 in Africa and 3 in Asia.

Rhino Calf  is approx. 7.5 cm/3″ long.
