World Rhino Day At first glance, you might not recognize this as a rhino. Many are tranquilized and dehorned to protect them from poachers. Although the procedure doesn’t hurt, and the horn will grow back over time (it’s made of keratin, the same protein in human nails and hair), it’s still heartbreaking that we have to take away such an iconic feature just to keep them alive.
