Most rhinos are gentle and timid. They have a bad reputation for being very aggressive, but that may be partly because they get frightened easily. Also, they have poor eyesight.

If a person or animal comes too close or threatens a mother and calf, the mother threatens the intruder by snorting loudly. If that does not scare the person or animal away, the mother may charge. If a rhino attacks, it can do so with great speed. Despite being heavy animals with a bulky body, rhinos are remarkably fast! The two types of African rhinos can reach a speed of 56 kph while charging an enemy. That's as fast as a galloping horse!

What is The symbiosis of the rhino and the tick bird?
I don't know if there is a thing called a "tick bird" or not, but the bird that rides
on a rhino, and eats parasites off of it's hide,
is a part of a symbiotic relationship for sure:
The bird gets food.
The rhino loses annoying parasites.
Both animals are in symbiosis. (mutually benefiting)
The bird eats the ticks off the rhino's back and warns the rhino of any danger (mutualism). The bird also eats the blood from sores on the rhino's skin and it prevents them from healing (parasitism).
What are the consequences of killing a rhino?
The consequence is that the future generations will classify the current living people, (those ones who kill undefended animals) as assassins, mentally insanes, and all of us are responsible to defend innocent animals that live on their territory and makes no harm to us.
people are trying their best to preserve the poor critturs from extinction. but poachers and hunters are not helping nor is mother nature on your side. They have currently started microchipping and cutting the horns of the rhinos so that is harder for poachers to steal their horns. they have also built private reserves and moved them to safari parks and zoos and used breeding programs. there is hope for the Rhinos and humanity isn't giving in just yet.

A rhino has a ton of muscle, strong giant horn, longer body, and better bulk than an ox. In fact, rhinos weigh 4 tons, which is quite a lot, and thick hide is built for the rhino to protect itself from the ox's hooves and horns.
No, that's hippos. Hippos do it because they have very fair skin, and the red pigment in their sweat acts as a sunscreen and stops them from burning up.
