Rhinoceros horns are pure keratin, the same material as human fingernails. The horns have no medical benefit, although they have been used for centuries in traditional Asian medicines – a practice that has placed rhinos on the brink of extinction.
Spectacular spot Meagan! Please consider adding it to the "Rhinos of the World" mission and help us raise awareness for this critically endangered species: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1284...
