No, Rhino's are not the same species or even closely related to Horses. Rhino's are related to Elephants and Manatees, while horses are related to Zebras and at a more distant relation, Antelopes and Pronghorns.
...While technically correct;While the previous entry is technically correct (all being in the same genus, equus) the odd-toed ungulates (meaning "hoofed animal), order perissodactyla; include horses, rhinoceroses, and tapirs. Perissodactyla are catorgorized as being mammals with feet that are symmetrical from the third toe. This, simply stated, is a fact that Rhinos and Horses do share a special genetic likeness, making them much more closely related than anyone may have imagined.
