One of the top three largest land mammals, the rhino’s physical presence is mammoth. Although the rhino is known to display aggressive behavior, for the most part it is a passive creature – preferring to roam its wide-open grassy spaces in contemplative solitude. Here we see the first of many paradoxes that lead us to the underlying symbolic theme of the rhinoceros: “things are not as they seem.”
Rhino animal symbolism reminds us to appreciate the expansive bounty we have around us. When the rhino is given in gifts, it's being used to represent the need to stop and give thanks for the infinite wonders occurring in every minute of our lives.
