Kenya: Solio Reserve – Hugest Horn Rhino
And the winner of the biggest horn title goes to this rhino – just massive. He was solitary, digging the ground and ignoring the zebras. At least two rhinos are killed per day for their horn (black rhino horn is much more valuable then white), because of stupid and incorrect beliefs that their horns cure fevers, blood disorders, cancers, and hangovers. Despite its appearance, a rhino horn is not made of bone, instead the core substance of rhino horn is a keratin, the same substance found in fingernails hair. Keratin in a rhino horn is a compacted mass of hair that grows throughout the life of an animal.
