The horns are very well developed in the two species in Africa (black and white rhinos), but much smaller in the three species in Asia (Sumatran with 2 very small horns, Indian and Javan with one horn). The Asian species certainly do not use the horns to fight or to defend themselves, they use their incisors (sharp front teeth for the purpose). The horns have come about in evolution and they had (have) a general function to impress members of the opposite sex.

All rhinos, those from Asia as well as Africa, have teeth in the sides of their jaws, called premolars and molars. The Asian species of rhinoceros also show well-developed front teeth. In fact, the incisors of the Indian Rhinoceros are its main means of defence, much more dangerous than the horn on the nose. See similar questions...

Only one third of the ewes on Hirta are horned; the remainder are either polled or scurred. (It is generally accepted that a scurred animal carries less than 50% of normal horns, which can mean it has very small horns or just small stumps. A polled animal has no sign of horn what so ever.) Historically Soay ewes brought to the mainland from Soay were selectively bred for horns. This has led many to the mistaken conclusion that all true Soay ewes are horned. See similar questions...

A:There are quite a number of legends about the rhinoceros stamping out fire. The story seems to have been common in Malaysia and Burma. This type of rhinoceros even had a special name in Malay, 'badak api', where badak means rhinoceros and api means fire. The animal would come when a fire is lit in the forest and stamp it out. If there is or can be any truth in the legend, it would be hard to decide. Suffice it to say that there has been no sighting of this phenomenon in recent history. See similar questions...

Answer: The general understanding of most Preterists is that the "ten horns" or "ten kings" are the ten Roman emperors in the following order with the years of their reign: it is evident from history, the three kings which were "uprooted" (reigned for very short periods of time) were Galba, Otho and Vitellius before the "little horn" with the remaining seven kings being the seven kings of Revelation 17.

Most modern horns are known as "double" horns because they are equipped with a "trigger" valve (usually at the thumb) which changes the pitch of the instrument from F to Bb. The Bb side allows more security in the upper register. The trigger also allows the seven lowest notes, C to F below the bass clef staff to be played. See similar questions...

Contrary to popular belief, no Stanley steam car shipped from the factory ever had a steam whistle. In fact the steam whistle is a modern addition to a Stanley. The early cars had reed-trumpet horns on them. These were long, coiled, tapered, brass resonators not unlike a trombone or trumpet with a 4" rubber bulb at the small end. Also inside the small end was a little brass reed kind of like a duck call reed (the same principal that is employed with a clarinet or oboe). See similar questions...

Yes. SEECO has two styles of arcing horns for transmission switching applications. Our traditional horn, which is standard on all phase-over-phase switches, is a tapered beryllium rod that provides interruption of line charging current comparable to other available arcing horns. SEECO has also recently developed a spring loaded, high velocity whip (HVW) that provides substantially higher levels of interruption than traditional horns. See similar questions...

NO. They are ALL vishus. The wuns with the horns can skewer cats, but I think the hornless wuns blind the cats with thare lazer beem eyes to render them defensliss, and they also werk like sheepdawgs, herding unforchewnit lazer-beem-blinded cats strate toward the horned ones to git skewered. That's eezy. Just five cans of Mao & Rocky's paten-pending Vishus Deer Repelunt(tm) will do the trik. See similar questions...

The while rhinoceros in Africa is the species with the wide upper lip. It is the rhinoceros that spends much of its time grazing for which reason it has developed this wide lip to help in cutting off the sharp grass. It also has far more muscles in the neck area, which are necessary to lift the heavy head because it has to lower the head for the grazing. The black rhinoceros in Africa is a browser and has a prehensile upper lip to find and cut off the browse on shrubs and trees. See similar questions...

A study on the African white rhinoceros, which is probably more social than other species, gave the following definitions: An "aggregation" is a congregation of individuals in the same area, but the animals each go their own way after some time. A "group" is an association of animals who try to stay in each other's proximity. These groups remain intact for at least a few hours. See similar questions...
