Rhinophilia
Intro | Conservation


 About This Page
Yep, as you may have guessed, I like rhinos. For the answers why, just browse your way over to the Rhino FAQ, or email me with any other questions you might have.

I collect just about anything that has to do with rhinos. In the Rhino Gallery, you can see some of my collection of rhino things. It is an odd collection of stuff, mostly smaller things. The amazing thing is that a large portion of the collection comes to me as gifts. The "action figure" collection mostly came from a friend of mine, Jeff.  When he gets his page up, I'll link you over to it.

My collection started with what I call the Alpha Rhino.  He was the only one in the stable for quite some time...but I made good use of him. You can't see it from the photo, but there I put Velcro on his feet...and the mating parts on my graduation cap when I graduated from college. Here's a pic of me wearing the rhino at graduation. <<insert photo>>. Lest you think that was the weirdest headwear, nope.  There were people with all kinds of stuff on their hats, including one guy who had an oil derrick, complete with moving parts!


Conservation
It is truly sad about the plight of the rhino. While there are gallant efforts to save the animals, there are just as determined efforts by poachers to turn their horns into profit for use in aphrodisiacs, "medicinal" remedies, and dagger handles. You can visit the following sites to learn more about rhinos and conservation efforts going on around the world.

Of the sites I have linked, S.O.S. Rhino is by far the best!  They have great info on the animals for educational purposes, and some great multimedia stuff too.  Check it out!
