I imagine the film [“300”] as if I was a Spartan and I had never seen an immortal or a Persian, or an elephant or a rhino for that matter.

All the rhinos are dead, for the most part. I think that’s really sad.

We really kind of pioneered a technology here at Fossil Rim where we use ultrasound on both our white rhinos and black rhinos and we can even document pregnancy in animals at about 30 days.

Rhino-mounted Bantu shock troops could have overthrown the Roman Empire. It never happened.

Tibet has a very proud people but it’s culturally gone and overrun ever since the Chinese took over. It’s like saving the rhino. When a species is endangered, it’s gone.

I have a friend who says that reviewers are the tickbirds of the literary rhinoceros-but he is being kind. Tickbirds perform a valuable service to the rhino and the rhino hardly notices the birds.

I very much like Kenya. It’s hard to beat the Masai Mara and the idea of ballooning across it. I have a great time at Lewa. There’s more rhinos than you‘ll find anywhere. A great part for the children is you can ride horses with the giraffes and the zebra.

The illegal wildlife trade threatens not only the survival of entire species, such as elephants and rhinos, but also the livelihoods and, often, the very lives of millions of people across Africa who depend on tourism for a living.

The rhino is now more or less extinct, and it’s not because of global warming or shrinking habitats. It’s because of Beyonce‘s handbags.

Freedom to many means immediate betterment, as if by magic. Unless I can meet at least some of these aspirations, my support will wane and my head will roll just as surely as the tickbird follows the rhino.

Rhinos are just fat unicorns. If we’d give them the time and attention they deserve, as well as a diet: They’d reveal their majestic ways

China is responsible for a lot of the major conservation issues we’re facing. It’s the main market for rhino horn. Tigers are being killed for tiger bone wine. They’re driving the tropical timber trade and illegal logging in Indonesia, and the trade in tropical reef fish.

The scary thing is that in my lifetime, 95 per cent of the world‘s rhinos have been killed.

A writer who has published as many books as I have has developed, of necessity, a hide like a rhino’s, while inside there dwells a frail, hopeful butterfly of a spirit.

I doubt if a charging elephant, or a rhino, is as determined or hard to check as a socially ambitious mother.

In other countries, success has been achieved with embryo transfer in a different rhino species, thus that as a technique can be presupposed to be the most promising, However, consultations are ongoing amongst different reproductive technique experts on the way forward.

Perhaps the rhinos and she-crocodiles whose gyrations between Mortimer’s and East Hampton gives us our vision of social eminence today are content to entrust their faces to Andy Warhol‘s mingily cosmetic Polaroidising, but one would bet they would rather go to Sargent.

My biggest concern and main engagement with UNEP is focused on endangered species and illegal wildlife trade – mostly elephants, rhinos, etc.

African cavalry mounted on rhinos or hippos would have made mincemeat of European cavalry mounted on horses. But it couldnt happen.

For an actress to be a success, she must have the face of Venus, the brains of a Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of a Macaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros.

You can’t save the rhinos and you can’t preserve a culture. I’m very pessimistic. Once it’s gone, it’s over.

They say that cats are the only animal that can sit in your lap and ignore you. To which I say: you’ve never been to the Spearmint Rhino.

Whatever you do to recover from a loss, people will be critical because they believe that the only way to recover is their way. And you will even run into some people who should be run into by rhinos because they actually don’t want to see you get over your tragedy at all; grief is a spectator sport for them.

We’re not very dangerous animals; we don’t have a horn like a rhino or quills like a porcupine.

When I first saw a strap on, I put it on my head and ran around like a rhino.
