I was reading an article about the black rhino and it said that the numbers, while still dangerously low, have been improving. The African people thank the contributing organizations for their financial efforts in attempting to stabilize the black rhino population. I thought to myself, this is good; a noble effort on the part of concerned citizens everywhere has been paying dividends. But then I closely examined the photograph of the black rhino and realized we had been duped. It is my contention that the African people have kept the money sent to them to protect the black rhino and used it instead on wild parties and extravagant costumes. They have taken an ordinary white rhino and covered it with mud, thus convincing an unwary public that the black rhino is making a comeback. I am outraged!
Judge for yourself...

Rhinos cover THEMSELVES with mud, Gus - they like it!
I believe the rhino is the real McCoy, or whatever rhinos call themselves.
Crash is, I believe , the collective noun.
