      Also, doesn’t this put them too close to their defense? I assume that is what the horn would be for, and the eyes are put in harms way by using it

      Edit: I guess if he puts his head down, pointing the horn straight out, it makes a buffer from the eyes

    I don’t know why, but to me it looks like their eyes should be further back, closer to their ears, or maybe their ears are too far back. I assume that’s why they went extinct.

      That’s where the wyes are located on surviving rhinos.They are technically a prey species, sohey didn’t really need to see what was dead ahead of them, since they were foragers. No predator is coming at them from the front, so they really only need to see what is at their sides.

        (Excellent question)

        Hm, I think I would actually go for the gentle fist headbutt-bonk thing (like affectionately with cats, or playful with goats).

        It seems the proper way to acknowledge the big boye/gurl they seem to be.
