Requiem To The Rhino

All things to nothing descend,
Grow old and die and meet their end...
Nor long shall any name resound
Beyond the grave, unless 't be found
In some clerk's book, it is the pen
Gives immortality to men... and rhino

(Master Wace (1100 - 1175) - from his Chronicles of the Norman Dukes. Found on the Chart of Harold F Umstott (1907-1922 ) ...and modified by Cecilia Adorio :)
 
The Western Black Rhinoceros, (Diceros bicornis longipes) recently officially declared extinct.
