It is a showoff, and although it's bad temper is exaggerated, come close to it and it will dance around and run back and forth, and it is very nimble on it's feet. I have seen a rhino during a release from a game capture vehicle run from the crate for about 30 yards, put one foot down and almost do a 180 degree turn. Then destroy a Land Rover So yeah I guess it is a contender for "unicorn". I would not think the white rhino was though. The difference being it is a grazer, and the black rhino a browser. The white rhino can't lift it's head up too far, (it sort of shuffles when it runs)while the black can, in order to get to the leaves it eats off acacia thorn trees (no wonder it is bad tempered - thorns for breakfast?). In the capture pens, the walkway around the edge has to be over 7 ft high in the case of a black rhino, because it can get its horn up that high. A white rhino can't, because of its head down grazing position. Is God not great!!!!! Two similar animals. One made to eat low, and one to eat high. One living on grassland, and one living in thickets. No competition! Blessings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exact meaning is unknown. Gesenius's lexicon....a wild animal, fierce and untamed, resembling an ox, as a wild ass resembles a wild ass. Of all my english translations, the King James is the only one that uses the word unicorn, The MKJV and NKJV both use the term wild ox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
