Rhinoceros's scientific name is 'Rhinoceros unicornis'. They are large and strong animals that are native of Africa and the South of Asia. Despite their intimidating appearance, they are herbivorous, and sadly, they are an endangered species, due to the man's interest for their distinctive horns.

Using the scientific names avoids the confusion of exactly what type of cat you are talking about.
