Two Whites Are Better Than One Cryptomundo

Seems the animal kingdom enjoys a sixth identifiable rhinoceros species. Darren Naish summarizes the re-discovery of the Northern white rhinoceros, Ceratotherium cottoni, drawing attention to urgent conservation methods needed to study and preserve the endangered animals. Scientifically documented in the dawn of the 20th century by Percy H. G. Powell-Cotton--a classic cryptozoological “animal of discovery” from the Victorian era--the initial categorization placed the rhino as a subspecies of the African rhino, not as its own outright. Oddly, the horned beast is identifiable by its prolonged square lip and not by colorization despite it's name.
