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.

The pelvic bones of NPS patients usually have illiac horns. They are internal "crests" or "spurs" in the midposterior illium. This defect is as yet unknown in any other species or in other diseases of man. It appears to be an expression of the gene mutation. Hip joints may also be deformed causing dislocations.

I play a Selmer Mark 6 on alto as well as an old Yamaha 62. They have different strengths and I enjoy them both. On soprano I play a Yamaha YSS 62 which I love and on tenor I play a Selmer Mark 6. On flute I play a Yamaha 681 and a Yamaha 682 piccolo. The Yamahas I play are all pretty old. I love my flute and feel that this particular one I have, now for more than 20 years, plays better for me than instruments that are much more expensive.

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.

When they appear with THE BUCKS, the horn guys for 2002 are Carlo Isabelli, Chuck Morgan, and Jim Kaczmarek.

Deductions under the Horned Cattle Purchases Act is $2.00 per horned animal. This penalty is to encourage the dehorning of livestock. The money collected goes to the Horned Cattle Fund and is used for Research and Development in the cattle industry. Over the past ten years more than $2.4 million has been collected.

No. Both male & females have horns but when they are calves, most of the time the horns are removed so the cows don't hurt anyone or each other.

More than 90 percent of the world's rhinos have disappeared since 1970. Today the total worldwide population of rhinos numbers less than 16,000. Few rhinos are left outside of national parks and other protected areas. The rhinos in Asia are in the most precarious situation: wild Indian rhinos number just over 2,400 individuals, while the population of Sumatran rhinos is fewer than 300. Most endangered of all the rhinos is the Javan rhino, of which 50 to 60 are estimated to remain in the wild.

With the exception of the South African population of southern white rhino, all rhino species and subspecies are listed on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), a treaty that includes over 160 member countries. This treaty prohibits international commercial trade in all rhino products and derivatives. The South African population of southern white rhino was transferred to Appendix II of CITES in 1994.

Rhino horns bring high prices in the East Asian and Middle Eastern markets, and profits made from the sale of rhino horn are so great that poachers, smugglers, and shop owners will risk fines, jail sentences, and even death to sell rhino horns. Fortunately, the trade in rhino horn has slowed significantly in the past several decades. During the 1970s, an estimated 17,600 pounds (8,000 kilos) of rhino horn were traded annually worldwide.

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.

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.

Sometime between four and eight months depending on how fast the South African Parks officials will issue an export permit after it is requested. It also depends on when you go hunting. Typically, if you hunt late in the season, it takes longer to get your trophies back. The reality is... there are no concrete answers when it comes to your trophies.

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.

No. Viking helmets were designed to provide protection to the head by deflecting blows, so they needed to have smooth curved surfaces. It is possible that the myth about Viking helmets began because some of the conical helmets had cheek guards which could be worn folded up when the Vikings were attacking a target such as a monastery where they wouldn't expect anyone to be fighting back.

We moved the whole operation—publisher and bookstore—to Brooklyn, the best borough ever; we've started the long process of digging our way out of debt; and we've published, and are planning to publish, some really, really amazing books (see the books mentioned on the home page, and also the great titles that are coming soon!) that we're honored to have a part in bringing to the world. And the scope and scale of our list continue to expand.

We will have brand new King Ultimate Marching Brass instruments at our November audition. The horns are pitched in the key of Bb (except for the mellophones which are in the key of F).

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).
