Rhino is delivered as the genus name of the scientific naming system

Explanation:

  • The words 'Rhinoceros' is originated from the Greek. It is a combination of two ancient Greek words, 'ris' meaning nose and 'keras' meaning horn of an animal.
  • The scientific names are always written using Genus and species names.
  • The first part is the genus and the second part is the species.
  • 'Rhinocerotidae' is the scientific name, where 'Rhino' is the Genus part and 'cerotidae' is the species part.
