Rhinoceros horns are pure keratin, the same material as human fingernails. The horns have no medical benefit, although they have been used for centuries in traditional Asian medicines – a practice that has placed rhinos on the brink of extinction. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152676951185603&set=a.10152575329380603.958289.10150120463815603&type=1 https://twitter.com/projectnoah/status/315925039113441280
